Altitude

Altitude Risk Mitigation operates out of Vancouver, WA, providing specialized training and consulting for law enforcement agencies, tactical teams, and corporate organizations. The company is built around one core principle: preparing first responders to lead, survive, and excel in the most demanding situations.

Jack Rosenthal is the owner and operator. He's a U.S. Marine Corps veteran with 23+ years of law enforcement experience at a local agency, including specialized work in:

• •Undercover operations
• •SWAT team leadership and operations
• •Violent crimes investigations
• •Collision reconstruction
• •Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) contracted work as a bombing prevention specialist

Rosenthal holds a Service Disabled-Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) designation with Federal contracting credentials (UEI and CAGE Code).

Altitude offers six main training programs:

Leadership & Command Training — Development programs covering everything from rookie officer leadership fundamentals to senior command staff incident command skills. Rosenthal's philosophy centers on "operating with dignity, compassion, and precision."

Tactical Patrol Training — Courses focus on ambush mitigation, threat identification and orientation, and exigent circumstance entries. The goal is ensuring officers, communities, and investigation subjects stay safe.

Critical Incident Response — Training on command and control during active incidents, including realistic scenario-based learning.

Undercover & Informant Operations and Rescue — Specialized instruction for officers conducting undercover narcotics work, major crimes investigations, and rescue operations.

Full Scale Exercise Conduct — Expert consulting to design and execute realistic training exercises that test agency readiness, coordination, and decision-making in dynamic situations.

Corporate Risk Solutions — Altitude extends beyond law enforcement into the corporate sector, offering what they call the Mission-Aligned Risk and Resilience Review (MARRR) framework. This helps executive and operational leaders align business functions with appropriate investment levels, ensuring leadership effort matches actual mission impact.

"We don't just train first responders—we prepare them to lead, survive, and excel in the most demanding situations."

Three key differentiators:

1. Customized to Your Agency — Altitude uses open-source intelligence and pre-instruction interviews to tailor every course to the specific trends and challenges facing each client agency. They work with State, Local, and Tribal law enforcement across multiple disciplines.

2. Real-World Experience — Every instructor brings decades of actual operational experience—not just academic knowledge. Rosenthal personally brings 23+ years in the field across multiple specialized disciplines.

3. They Come to You — Licensed in Washington State, Altitude travels to your agency, eliminating lodging, per diem, and other traditional travel expenses. This makes training more affordable for departments with tight budgets.
