 Training Audience, Format and Content

This is an advanced skill development course designed for the first responder or first line supervisor, currently involved in public safety activities. Typical course attendees are; school resource officers, training officers, supervisors and administrators.

 

This course is most successful when taught and received with audiences of 30 officers or fewer, but has been given in groups of 100 or more with successful reviews.  The smaller groups enable officers to have more direct dialog & contact with the instructors and the other students.

 

The course is designed in 3 day sessions with each day involving the exploration of a different topic and the reinforcement of previous learned material.  The course is generally designed to run from 0800 to 1600 hours daily, but can be manipulated for evenings and extended days as needed.
