This course offers updated information in the use of force, laws of arrest, search and seizure, criminal law, patrol procedures, and other areas including firearms training, and arrest & control techniques. There is a comprehensive written final examination, and exercise tests to demonstrate the student's proficiency with the handgun, shotgun, and arrest & control techniques.
The recertification course is not a retraining course and assumes that students have maintained proficiency in basic skills and knowledge. The course is presented in an advanced officer format. Information on uniforms will be provided to students upon acceptance into class (typically less than $100 total). There is no physical training component in the course. However, students will be required to participate in some physical activity during weaponless defense training, impact weapons training and range training.
