Blake Buchanan is a law enforcement instructor and trainer formerly associated with Centrifuge Training, a nationally recognized company known for its focus on vehicle close quarters battle (VCQB), ballistic shield operations, low-light tactics, and modern law enforcement problem solving. With a background in patrol operations, investigations, narcotics, tactical assignments, and police instruction, Blake has developed a reputation within the law enforcement training community for practical, performance-driven instruction rooted in real-world application rather than theatrics.

Through Centrifuge Training, Blake has helped develop ballistic shield and tactical movement curriculum used by law enforcement professionals across the country. His approach emphasizes critical thinking, environmental awareness, and decision-making under stress, particularly in vehicle environments and dynamic close-quarters situations. Rather than focusing solely on marksmanship or flat-range performance, the training philosophy centers around solving tactical problems realistically and efficiently.

Blake Buchanan’s instruction reflects that same mindset, combining operational experience with a modern understanding of law enforcement tactics, preparedness, and tactical performance. Blake has went on to establish and run his own training company, Vector Consulting. Mariani Media has had the honor and pleasure of creating one of Vector Consulting’s first pieces of media under the new company name.
