NATIONWIDE SAR INITIATIVE

 

 

LINE OFFICER TRAINING

for

SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY REPORTING

 

 

 

The Suspicious Activity Reporting (SAR) Line Officer Training was developed to assist law enforcement officers in understanding what kinds of suspicious behaviors are associated with pre-incident terrorism activities, documenting and reporting suspicious activity, and protecting privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties. This training also provides information about integrating the Nationwide SAR Initiative (NSI) into your agency's operations.

 

Utah’s participation in the NSI has been endorsed by the Utah Chiefs of Police Association and the Utah Sheriffs’ Association who have recognized the important role local law enforcement agencies play in “connecting the dots” in cooperation with their state and federal partners.

 

 

The Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting (SAR) Initiative (NSI) is a nationwide effort led by the U.S. Department of Justice, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement partners. This initiative provides law enforcement with another tool to help prevent terrorism and related criminal activity by establishing a standardized process for identifying and reporting suspicious activity in jurisdictions across the country.

 

 

If you haven’t taken this important short 12-minute training segment, please do so by logging- in to the POST In-Service Training website at-http://www.utahpost.org/e-learning-courses-1/suspicious-activity-reporting-line-officer-training

CPR & First Aid for Law Enforcement

CPR & First Aid for Law Enforcement is an alternative to traditional first aid and CPR courses, built and taught specifically for law enforcement officers. Participants will review valuable skills applicable to real-world medical emergencies. The skills covered are fundamental whether the officer is working to support EMS or initiating care prior to their arrival.

Topics include:
CPR (Adult, Child and AED)
Patient Assessment System
Tactical Casualty Combat Care
Down Officer Rescue
Immediate Life Threats
Basic Medical Emergencies

CPR & First Aid for Law Enforcement is designed and taught through a collaborative effort between the Davis County Sheriff’s Paramedic Patrol and the University of Utah, Center for Emergency Programs. The course is taught by dynamic instructional staff, experienced in both LE and EMS.
Equipment: All medical equipment will be provided, however participants should bring their duty belt and any other equipment that they routinely have available to them when responding to a call.

Expectations of the Participant: The participant should plan on a full day of active training. This is NOT a lecture only class. PARTICIPANTS MUST DEMONSTRATE SKILLS AND PARTICIPATE IN SCENARIOS TO RECEIVE CERTIFICATION. This means that you will have to participate in scenarios as both care providers and acting as patients. Those who are unable to actively participate for any reason cannot be certified. Your instructors will require you to engage. They will also have the depth and breadth of knowledge that will allow you to leave the course with real world skills.
Prerequisites: Must be a certified law enforcement officer. No prior medical training is required.

Drug Recognition Expert Program

This course is designed for officers who are interested in aggressive DUI enforcement.

The 2012 DRE Student School will be held at the Larry H. Miller Training Academy, room 114, March 12-23, 2012.  All interested officers need to contact Trooper Jason Marshall at (435) 650-4749 cell or jmarshal@utah.gov

Students must apply between December 1st to the 31st, 2011 to be considered for the class. Students will be selected from the pool of applications received and will be notified by January 21, 2012.

The Utah Department of Public Safety's Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) program has received international acclaim for its success in identifying the drug-impaired individual.  Although the focus of the DRE curricula is on the identification of the drug-impaired driver, DRE skills are applied to many different law enforcement activities.

In addition, DRE's are frequently called upon to differentiate between drug influence and medical and/or mental disorders. The certified DRE is an extremely valuable tool for combating the adverse impact of drugs on the communities we serve. DRE School is very demanding. To receive certification as a DRE two phases of training must be completed.  The following summarizes each phase:

ACADEMIC TRAINING:
This phase is conducted over two weeks (80 hours).  It includes courses in physiology, vital signs, standardized field sobriety testing (SFST), as well as extensive material on each of the seven categories of the drugs of abuse.  The training includes three written examinations, an SFST proficiency examination and five written quizzes.  Students must achieve a minimum of 80% on the three examinations, achieve a minimum of 70% on all five quizzes, and must demonstrate proficiency in administering the SFST in order to progress to the certification phase.  The academic training is conducted utilizing creative, participant-centered teaching techniques.  In order to certify, the student must attend all 80 hours of academic training.            

CERTIFICATION PHASE:
After successfully completing the academic portion, the students return to their division of assignment.  It is the student's responsibility to complete the certification requirements within six months following the DRE school.  These requirements include the following: conduct a minimum of 12 drug influence evaluations while under the supervision of a DRE instructor; identify subjects under the influence of three of the seven drug categories, with a 75% opinion confirmation rate from toxicology; pass a comprehensive final knowledge examination; and obtain the written endorsement of two certified DRE instructors.  The student must maintain a progress log, rolling evaluation log, and submit a quality resume.

The International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) is the regulating and certifying organization for the DRE program.  DRE certification is valid for two years.  In order to maintain certification, DRE's must conduct a minimum of four evaluations within two years, submit a current rolling evaluation log and resume, attend eight hours of recertification training.

2011 DRE Training dates to remember/schedule are:

2011 ANNUAL DRE IN-SERVICE: Date January 12, 2012 0800-1600. Location: Larry H. Miller Training Academy (Auditorium) 9800 South 410 West Sandy, Utah.

DRE INSTRUCTOR SCHOOL: Date (TBA) 2013 at POST. Starting at 0800. I am gathering letters of interest now for candidates. Send me an e-mail or letter of interest, as soon as you get approval from your supervisor. Candidates will need to plan on teaching at least one DRE school in order to certify. Recommendations from current DRE Instructors are great to have. I'll get registrations out to interested DRE's. Those chosen to attend the instructor school will also be certified as POST Instructors, as Instructor Development will be covered. jmarshal@utah.gov

ARIDE: A Training Option Bridging the GAP Between

SFST and DRE

The Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) program was developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) with input from the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) Technical Advisory Panel (TAP) and the Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police. ARIDE was created to address the gap in training between the Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) and the Drug Evaluation and Classification (DEC) Program.

The SFST program trains officers to identify and assess drivers suspected of being under the influence of alcohol while the DEC Program provides more advanced training to evaluate suspected drug impairment. The SFST assessment is typically employed at roadside, while an officer trained as a drug recognition expert (DRE) through the DEC Program conducts a drug evaluation in a more controlled environment such as a detention facility.

The ARIDE program was designed to bridge the gap between the SFST program and the DEC program by providing field officers with general knowledge related to drug impairment, and promoting the use of a DRE in drug impairment cases.  Students enrolled in the ARIDE program will be required to demonstrate proficiency in SFST testing.  Another focus of the ARIDE program is obtaining the proper biological sample for impairment cases.  This is a 16 hour training course, taught over a day and a half.  Enrollment in this class is limited to 30 students.  There is no cost for this training.

TBA
