This seven-week course allows students to receive instruction in areas such as use of force, crime scene investigation, traffic enforcement, K-9 operations, and alcohol enforcement. In addition to classroom instruction, students will be given hands-on opportunities with many of the tools used by law enforcement personnel. Students will observe K-9 detection and apprehension activities, use Fatal Vision goggles to observe the effects of alcohol on coordination, utilize various non-lethal weapons and training aids (PepperBall, Taser, Simunitions), dust surfaces for latent fingerprints, and engage in scenario-based decision making on the Firearms Training Simulator.
