Street to Range Use of Deadly Force in Drug Encounters
Course Number: 051024B
Scheduled For: Monday, May 10, 2004 through Tuesday, May 11, 2004
CLASS FILLED (12/3/03) - DO NOT REGISTER
Presented by Sgt. Mike Hamm and L.E.T. Shawn Donnelly; Class Location: Regional Training Center; Lodging: Best Western City Centre (712) 277-1550.
Day 1/AM – Will go back to basics with new ideas and concepts to improve your hand gun skills. Officer will learn the "circle of safety" concept, the application on the range and more importantly on the street. Officer will review the basics: 1) grip; 2) Stance or platform; 3) sight alignment; 4) sight picture; 5) trigger control; 6) breathing and 7) follow through. To these seven, we will add 8) draw; 9) presentation; and 10) concentration. Officer will be introduced to new ideas and shooting drills to refine the above.
Day 1/PM – Statistics tell us that if an officer is involved in a gun fight, it will most likely be at close range, in low light and will be over ver quickly. We will use stance directed, point shooting to hit the target as fast as each student can. New drills will be employed to work on shooting and moving, officer down, cover drills and hitting multiple targets.
Day 2/AM - Tactical handgun. The class will continue with the shooting and moving drills while employing the proper use of cover. While under stress we will be doing disable drills, transitioning and clearing a jammed gun. The students will be shooting from positions that they may have never shot from before. Another system for qualifying will be presented. This system requires loading, moving, use of cover, clearing a malfunctioning gun, shooting form standing, kneeling and Strategos modified prone position, transitioning, reloading, hitting multiple targets, decision making and hitting with every round fired within a specified time period. This drill can be conducted with one or two officers at a time. This builds teamwork and confidence in your ability to win the gun battle.
Because officers perform the way they train or practice, the class is designed to provide real life situations and experiences that can be used on the street. Safety is always our number one consideration during all training exercises.
Equipment Needed: Full duty gear, body armor (if your agency requires it), enough magazines or loaders to shoot at least 33 rounds or more without having to reload; 1000 rounds of ammunition; brimmed hat; eye and ear protection. BDUs or cargo pants recommended and NO SHORTS.
The RTC will reimburse $200 for ammunition. Checks will be distributed on the last day of the class.
If you have adequate facilities this class can be held in your community, contact Sgt. Mike Hamm at the RTC for more information or to schedule the class.

Sioux City, IA is probably the toughest on drugs of any city in the nation. Notice how "deadly force" goes hand in hand with "drug encounters". He's got a joint! SHOOT HIM! SHOOT HIM!

LOL 
Hey this is interesting. Check out the turning in a drunk driver part...and here's a interesting quote.
"Using a method based on roll playing, video clips, and a heavy dose of humor, the most arrogant and the most nervous police officer will walk away from this instruction able to present their case in the best light."
They seem to know their men don't they! LOL 
Search & Seizure NOTE CLASS WILL BE HELD IN FOREST CITY, IA
Course Number: OT060824
Scheduled For: Tuesday, June 08, 2004 through Thursday, June 10, 2004
Presented by Joe Weeg and Mary Pat Gunderson; Class Locaton: Forest City, IA Police Department, 525 N. 4th St.
PLEASE NOTE: NO LODGING OR PER DIEMS PROVIDED.
CLASS WILL BEGIN AT 8:30 A.M.
Check schedule to attending class in your are. Class also can be brought to your agency. Contact the RTC for details.
DAY 1
1. BASIC SEARCH AND SEIZURE (morning)
This core lecture is still most commonly requested by police agencies. It is a half-day course teaching a thorough understanding of search and seizure law involving vehicles and other search warrant exceptions. The content of this lecture changes on a weekly basis to accommodate the rapid changes in the law. For example, the Iowa Supreme Court recently recognized a probable-cause search of persons in a car based on a theory of "investigative arrest." This theory changes many probable cause searches of persons not only in vehicles but residences and in the execution of search warrants. Another recent change is the approval of Terry seizures based on anonymous tips of drunk drivers. This is a dramatic departure from last year’s law, the where the stops were forbidden.
2. CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION (afternoon).
Although the police officer may be considered an adept investigator, if he or she does not put together the case needed by the prosecutor, then we are all back to square one. Through a slide presentation and a wealth of anecdotal lessons by a former prosecutor, the officer will become proficient at preserving and presenting the best evidence. For example, the officer, after this class, will know whether the scene is best depicted by video, digital camera, conventional still photography, or drawings. The officer will see that powerful evidence is left behind at almost every scene. Most importantly, the officer will learn how to not only "solve" the crime, but how to work with the prosecutor to recreate the incident for trial.
DAY 2
3. SEARCH WARRANTS, EQUIPMENT SEARCHES, AND PRIVATE PARTY SEARCHES (morning).
This is a hands-on lecture concerning the ins and outs of search warrants. The focus is
on mechanics: describing homes, property, vehicles, and persons. It also illuminates the danger with searching for anything described as "all vehicles," "all persons," or "all stolen property." It provides an easy formula to follow so your affidavit is always correct. It will also eliminate the mysteries surrounding informants. The class will work on all portions of a search warrant.
This class also trains the officer to determine whether a Fourth Amendment issue exists or doesn’t exist. This class will cover searches by security officers, private-party searches, and searches from a different locations. The concept of "open fields" is explained in common-sense terms. The class will address searching barns or outbuildings on rural property. Finally, use of equipment is discussed. Agencies will learn to recognize when they are crossing the line with all the new equipment on the market.
4. WINNING AFTER THE SEARCH (afternoon).
No matter how talented the particular police officer, if the case cannot be presented in court, his or her work may be for naught. For example, even if the Terry stop of the vehicle was excellent, and the ensuing pat-down followed appropriate protocol, the officer’s anger at defense counsel, the officer’s inability to recognize the court exhibit, and the fact that the officer spilled the pitcher of water on the court reporter, may undercut all the hard work. This class solves these problems. Using a method based on roll playing, video clips, and a heavy dose of humor, the most arrogant and the most nervous police officer will walk away from this instruction able to present their case in the best light.
DAY 3
5. INTERROGATION (morning).
This class will discuss everything the officer would ever want to know concerning an interrogation. The emphasis is not on legal jargon but what words can be said when. Film clips of interrogations will be analyzed covering home and street interrogations, volunteered statements, and police station interrogations. The officer will leave knowing when Miranda is required, when there is a Sixth Amendment right-to-counsel problem, the statutory right to counsel in an OWI case, and how to avoid involuntary statements.
This course is appropriate for all officers, but is a must for those officers involved in more extended investigations than the immediate street encounter.
6. VICTIM INTERVIEWING (afternoon).
Possibly the hardest task a police officer faces is dealing with victims. This is particularly true in the areas of domestic abuse, sexual abuse, and crimes against children. The vagaries of age, psychological profiles, and fear, can turn a simple assault case into a recurring nightmare for the officers. There is a better way. An experienced prosecutor, whose practice was primarily victim crimes, will clearly, and without dewy eyes, set out methods to work with victims. She will use taped interviews she has conducted with victims and police officers to demonstrate techniques to deal with the most difficult victims.

Yeah turf wars and gangs that deal in controlled substances never carry guns.
Yep and I saw the cat in the cradle and the silver spoon, little boy blue and the man in the moon. Plus Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny were sharing breakfast at Hy Vee yesterday. I saw them I swear, like right after the tooth fairy left $.25 under my pillow.
What a beautiful if not whimsical world you must live in Uncle minbenn-o-mite.
