About 5150 HEAT, LLC - Firearms Training Academy

Welcome to 5150 HEAT – Firearms Training Academy: 

My name is Ken Clements.
I'm a retired Brea Police Officer, & Police Academy Tactical Officer, & Police Academy Instructor & Brea Police Department Firearms Instructor with more than 30-years experience in law enforcement. 

In addition, I served on the Presidential Security Team, protecting  Presidents: Nixon, Ford, Reagan & Bush

On 1 January, 2024, I retired from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Security with 16-years service with DHS (Team Coast Guard, Sector LA/LB, 11sr.) which was performed concurrently with my law enforcement career. 

Serving as Division Vice-Commander & Flotilla Commander & Incident Commander with 16-years experience in Aids to Navigation Division Staff Officer, Boat Crew, Navigator, Communications (radio operator), Personal Watercraft (PWC jet-ski) operator, Boat Crew Instructor / Mentor & Operation Noble Eagle Patrols. -Retired

Operation Noble Eagle (Maritime Law Enforcement Patrols). 

Operation Noble Eagle is not your average operation. Operation Noble Eagle— is an all out military activity focused on homeland defense (LA & LB Harbors)—has been a vast and continuous undertaking since 911 September 11, 2001. From 24/7/365 harbor patrols by USCG & USCG Aux., to air defense, it is best understood through the lens of military operations, other than war. Make no mistake: Operation Noble Eagle is a Maritime Law Enforcement endeavor.

As mentioned, I was a Police Academy Tactical Officer, Police Academy Instructor and Police Gang Officer. So, I had the unique opportunity to train thousands of men & women police officers on the proper use of firearms as well as how to safely handle firearms and how to legally defend themselves & others with firearms and deadly force. 

Since my retirement from law enforcement a few years ago - I've been fortunately positioned to catch the enormous wave of men & women interested in learning about firearms and self-defense. I have introduced & taught basic firearms fundamentals, safe firearms deployment & Concealed Carry (CCW) & advanced street survival courses to nearly a thousand new and rusty ole shooters.

Experienced. Skilled. Professional Instructor. 

Instructor Bio & Goals: I am a Retired L.E.O., (Law Enforcement Officer) with more than 30 years of honorable service to the Buena Park Police Department, Brea Police Department as well as the City of Yorba Linda, and citizens throughout California. My experience extends to virtually every aspect of the law enforcement profession. 

In addition to police patrol duties, I served as a Police Department Firearms & Tactical Instructor and Range Master tasked with training and qualifying thousands of police officers annually, (men & women). In addition, I held the position of Police Academy, Senior Tactical Officer, and Police Academy Instructor involved in the training of thousands of police officer recruits, (men & women). Since retirement, I have continued my involvement in teaching both  men and women interested in securing their safety as well as safeguarding their family, friends, and home protection.

Self-Defense tactics are presented from my own experiences in the Use of Deadly Force and developed from an extensive and varied background in teaching the art & science of firearm tactics; gun safety, situational awareness, defensive shooting, self-defense, CQC (close-quarters combat) tactical concepts, shoot don't shoot, the color code of awareness, actual hands-on “street survival” with real urban combat with strategic & defensive skills. I take personal satisfaction in sharing my tactical know-how and experience with good people in need of helpful training in firearms safety, defensive shooting, marksmanship skills, and self-defense.
