CONTROLLED CHAOS TACTICS
EGO SUM VISIO NOCTURNA
Who We Are…
Paul Heitz and Mark Geesaman are US Army Special Forces (Green Berets) with over 40 years of military experience and several combat deployments. In 2017, Paul and Mark started training and advising law enforcement on close quarters battle (CQB) and combat marksmanship while they were instructors at Camp MacKall, NC.
CCT started as a way to give back to the LEO community. As we deployed overseas, law enforcement stood ready to protect and serve here at home. We saw a gap in the training being provided to officers. We knew we could provide the knowledge and skills for South Carolina law enforcement not only in training but also in mindset. With CCT, it has always been about the basics and a mastery of the basics.
At CCT, we offer South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy (SCCJA) accredited courses to law enforcement. We focus on training law enforcement in South Carolina to a high standard, at an affordable cost.
We also provide consultation services to agencies and private organizations working on training plans, security protocols and tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs).
Vision
To Bring a Special Operations Forces (SOF) Perspective to Law Enforcement Officers in a Dynamic Operational Environment.
CCT implements the same 8 SOF Core Attributes into what we do and teach in our courses. Integrity, Adaptability, Perseverance, Team Player Mentality, Personal Responsibility, Courage, Capability, and Professionalism.

Deputy Berlin G., YCSO, 2023
“This course was incredible. From the material covered, the instructors, and the overall atmosphere that training with people of like minds provides, I 100% recommend a course with these guys at CCT. All of the instructors are extremely knowledgeable with loads of background experience. Their humble nature and motivated mindset push every single student to push themselves harder than they realize they can go and perform at a higher level. I can't wait to get on the range and train with these fellas again.”

Deputy Chase T., KCSO, 2023
“I’ve never attended a course like this before and I cannot express how great the instructor was and the overall content of the material. I would definitely recommend Controlled Chaos to my co-workers as well as anybody in law enforcement . As an operator, you will become more confident and comfortable with your skills. I learned something new everyday in this class and the things I learned are so beneficial to my career. The instructors were very responsive and would take the time with each individual in the class with whatever they needed help with. This class should be the standard for every SRT/SWAT operator in the STATE.”

Special Agent Allen L., SLED, 2021
“Paul is an outstanding instructor in the tactical operations field. Paul has many years of experience in both military and law enforcement operations, which allows him to tailor his training to fit both realms. Nothing better than learning from an instructor who has used the tactics he teaches. During my tenure with a local agency, Paul and another fellow instructor began training us. Within a few training sessions, the team's (and my own) confidence and efficiency grew. The training also allowed the command staff to gain confidence in the team and allow the team to complete higher-risk operations.”

“Skilled professionals bringing high quality training and real life experiences to LE. I have never worked with higher caliber, more down to earth group of operators than these fellas. It’s obvious they legitimately care about bettering the cause and giving back to the LE community. Their training is a no brainer… it is top notch and budget friendly.”

Deputy Dustin D., LCSO, 2021
“I have been fortunate enough to train many years with Paul and the guys from Controlled Chaos Tactics LLC. Hands down they have provided the best tactical training that I have received over my career spanning more than 10 years as an LEO and over 8 on a tactical team. In the later years as a team leader, I saw the benefits of the solid training and tactics that Paul brings and is more than qualified to teach. His instruction from the planning phase all the way through the execution, emphasizes proficiency and consistency in tactics, techniques, and procedures. With his help our team developed confidence, proficiency, and safety allowing us to better serve the public and undoubtedly ensuring positive outcomes to numerous situations we encountered.”

Deputy Joshua, C., YCSO, 2023
This is the class that brought everything together for me. Learning CQB and understanding what goes into mission planning was something I struggled to get. After taking this class, it’s like the pieces started falling together and I really started to understand the WHY behind the things we do. The morning PT is tough if you are giving it 100% but trust me, you are all the better for it. The shooting drills we went over in class, really boost confidence in marksmanship fundamentals and you really get to push the envelope of what your capable of. The instructors were fantastic, much respect to those guys. I don’t look up to many people but I admired the team they put together to teach the class. 5 out 5 highly recommend.

Deputy Marschal M., YCSO, 2023
This course is an awesome opportunity to step up your game. The instructors have an incredible amount of knowledge that they are willing to share and give back to the rest of us. From start to finish the entire curriculum was set up for a purpose. From day one to day 5 you could see the improvement in each person whether the individual had prior knowledge/instruction or none at all. The instructors truly care about what they are teaching and you can see their passion for the subjects taught but also for each individual. You can see they want you to succeed and aren’t keeping any secrets for themselves. I love the high intensity paired with the instruction, its not just beating you down but they have purpose behind each task/challenge. In 5 days you can see the results and the confidence boost in each person. I had an awesome time and highly recommend Controlled CHAOS Tactics!

Deputy Craig L., LCSO, 2021
As a training officer for the past 9 years, I have attended many classes for firearms, room clearing and CQB. Paul’s instruction comes from his experience in the military and law enforcement. He is able to tailor the instruction to his students ability, nothing too complicated. From the basics to advanced techniques, Paul is able to provide safe, quality training for those who have a limited budget. From firearm handling, CQB, Tac Med and team building exercises, Paul is able to provide drills for any level of operator. Our team has trained with Paul and his team for the past 4 years and I have been thoroughly impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. We have benefitted greatly with his experience and training. As a team, we have been able to implement new techniques that are very easy to learn. Overall, Paul and his instructors have helped make our team better operators. I highly recommend Controlled CHAOS Tactics LLC. for any firearms, land nav, team building and tac med instruction.

Joshua B., 2021
I served over 13 years in the Army, most of which as a Green Beret and I had the privilege of serving with the owner of Controlled CHAOS Tactics, Paul Heitz. As an instructor, Paul was very knowledgeable on tactics, both as a prior LEO and Special Forces Operator, as well as being very professional when teaching to students. When he approached me on his idea to give back to the law enforcement community by teaching what he knows about tactics he again displayed the kind of person he is. His passion and dedication to train others is who he is as a person and I have no doubt his training will help officers stay safe in their line of work.

Deputy Wes G., LCSO, 2021
I’ve been in law enforcement for almost 10 years and made our SWAT Team almost 2 years ago. Since making the team I’ve had the privilege of going through Paul’s training. He’s a master at finding and critiquing the small things your doing while shooting /moving/ or clearing so that your proficiency increases ten fold. He also brings important skills in team building and has brought our team closer together, helping us to work as a more effective and cohesive unit. Through the guidance of Paul and his guys I’ve become a better team member and deputy and am able to pass this knowledge on to the guys I supervise. If your considering sending anybody through a tactical course you couldn’t find a more experienced, knowledgeable, and professional group of guys.

Highly recommend. Thorough, motivating and professional.

Benjamin K., 2021
Paul has come and taught our team a lot. Many times he came with people that he’s made connections with over a very long career to bring different perspectives and another set of experienced eyes. They bring very simple concepts to help individuals and larger teams develop their “bread and butter” tactics. Nothing fancy, just clean and efficient CQB tactics for all levels of operators. My personal experience with these types of movements was very limited. The first time I worked with Paul and his team, it was very easy to pick up on the concepts he shows. Very basic, easy to learn, easy to further develop. He also brings in a level of personal accountability. Instead of Paul observing and telling you what you did wrong, he will ask you what you did. This helps to not be beaten to death by instruction, but to help keep your mind focused on what you’re doing, paying attention to your teammates, and also keeping your head on a swivel. It’s helped widen that tunnel vision when you go to work. Great guys to work with and be around, awesome program to learn, hands down it’s high quality training. Always learning something new.

Deputy Timothy R., LCSO, 2021
I have been extremely fortunate to have received training from Paul and his team at Controlled Chaos Tactics LLC over the past several years. Paul and his team have a wealth of knowledge and skills and have extensive experience in applying their knowledge and skills in real life situations . He has made a major difference not only to our SWAT Team as a whole but to each Team Member in the improvement of their individual skills and abilities. Paul and his team break down the tactics and skills so that even the inexperienced officer can grasp the concept and begin to improve in their skills. Paul and his team are true professionals and the training they bring has already and will continue to save lives and keep law enforcement officers safe. I am honored to be able to have learned from him and call him a friend.
