About Two-Lane Tactics

---

Two-Lane Tactics Law Enforcement Training, LLC. is a law enforcement training company focused on providing affordable quality proactive law enforcement training to officers from small and rural agencies.

Owner/Instructor Mike Varilek is a Patrol Sergeant, K-9 Handler-Instructor, and Drug Recognition Expert-Instructor for a small (5-man) Sheriff's Office in North Central South Dakota. 

With nearly 20 years of experience and having handled three canines over a 15+ year period, Mike has made countless arrests for drugs, weapons, and impaired driving.  Mike has seized in excess of $3.25 million dollars in drugs and assets while working the same highways that many say, "criminal activity doesn't exist (here)".  

From 2018 to 2024, Mike instructed for another Midwest-based training company and taught state-specific criminal interdiction courses to law enforcement professionals from South Dakota, North Dakota, Kansas, Minnesota, Wyoming, and Nebraska.  Mike has also taught at various national conferences including K-9 Cops and HITS K-9.  

When Mike began instructing, he recognized a majority of interdiction training courses, while all relevant in their own right, are geared toward officers in metropolitan areas, target rich environments, or officers who work the interstate.  In speaking to other officers across the Midwest, he came to the realization that there was a huge void in interdiction training and that officers needed to hear from instructors that work the same demographic as them, not someone who works in an area devoid of the struggles that come with working a rural area where cars are often few and far between.  

As the company name suggests, Two-Lane Tactics' courses are geared toward like-minded law enforcement professionals patrolling the same demographic as Mike – rural communities and two-lane roads – an area of criminal interdiction that is often overlooked and underestimated!
