TAC89 Tactical Human Performance Course


Optimizing Tactical Performance. Enhancing Readiness. Extending Careers.

Course Overview:

TAC89 Tactical Human Performance Course is an evidence-informed training program designed to help law enforcement, SWAT, fire, EMS, military, and tactical professionals optimize physical performance, resilience, recovery, and career longevity.

Developed and instructed By Andy Rodriguez retired Orlando Police Department Corporal, former TAC Officer/SWAT Operator, national conference speaker, and founder of TAC89.

Throughout his law enforcement career, he served in Patrol, Patrol TAC, SWAT, Narcotics, and Criminal Investigations before surviving a critical on-duty shooting that transformed his mission. Today, he delivers tactical human performance education to agencies, academies, conferences, and professional organizations across multiple U.S. states and Puerto Rico, helping those who serve perform at their highest level through practical, evidence-informed training.

This course combines real-world operational experience with practical performance strategies that can be immediately applied both on and off duty.

Rather than focusing on fitness alone, Tactical Human Performance addresses the complete tactical athlete by integrating strength and conditioning, nutrition, recovery, resilience, stress management, leadership, and sustainable performance.

Whether you’re a recruit beginning your career or a veteran operator with decades of experience, this course provides actionable tools to help you perform at your highest level when it matters most.

The Story Behind TAC89: 

In 2023, “TAC89” was my police tactical unit number. During an on duty apprehension with a violent suspect, Rodriguez sustained multiple gunshot wounds to the chest, upper back, and rib cage area. He was later resuscitated by emergency medical staff in the ER. The trauma surgeons and physicians who saved his life stated that without his mental resilience & the high level of physical conditioning he maintained, he likely would not have survived injuries that carried an estimated 1–3% survival rate.

Today, Rodriguez shares the lessons, strategies, workouts, and mindset that helped him overcome a near-death experience, focusing on mental resilience, physical fitness, officer wellness, and tactical performance training for first responders and high-performance teams.

In addition to his law enforcement and tactical experience, Andy is currently pursuing the NSCA Tactical Strength and Conditioning Facilitator (TSAC-F) certification to further support the training.
