Doppler RADAR Instructor
Certification
This course will be modified to the
level of expertise in the audience and can be adapted in the classroom for
multiple levels of experience and understanding.
Training Goals and Objectives
The goal of this (32) hour
instructor certification course is designed to reinforce a certified
Doppler RADAR operator's knowledge, skills and abilities when using this
type of speed enforcement device. This class will provide the Doppler
RADAR operator with the materials, practical training and knowledge base
necessary to instruct and certify other law enforcement personnel in the
use of Doppler RADAR speed measurement enforcement.
Training Audience, Format and
Content
This course is intended for various
levels of law enforcement officers who already have certification and
experience utilizing Doppler RADAR speed enforcement devices. This course
is designed to consist of both classroom lectures and field practical work
with Doppler RADAR devices. This course will require a moderate level of
class participation from the students as well as a 5 minute presentation
by each student on a given topic assigned by the instructor. This class
normally operates on an 8-hour, 4-day time slot from 0830 hours to 1630
hours, but can be both modified and extended if needed. This class works
best when the student population is under 35 participants, but can extend
to a maximum of 50 students, for a five day program
