<br />T <br /> <br />RAINING <br /> <br />Sergeant Pat Aldrich <br /> <br />Providing high quality and cost-effective training for the Centennial Lakes Police <br />personnel continued to be a high priority in 2007. Professional training benefits the <br />officers, the department, and the communities in which we serve. The department <br />benefits by having well-trained police officers, minimizing department liability. The <br />communities also realize the benefits of having officers who have a well-rounded <br />base of knowledge and experience in a variety of areas. <br /> <br />The Minnesota State Peace Officers Standards and Training Board (P.O.S.T.) and the <br />federal government, through the Occupational Safety and Health Administration <br />(OSHA), continue to place additional training mandates on law enforcement. Our <br />department continues to identify and use its resources to accomplish compliance with <br />these standards. <br /> <br />During 2007, 0 fficers continued to utilize "daily training". During each duty shift <br />officers are required to complete a topic assigned for that day. Most ofthe scheduled <br />training topics could be considered "high risk/low frequency" events. This training <br />allows officers to refresh their knowledge and review proper procedures to be <br />prepared for infrequent events. Many mandated information requirements are <br />covered with the daily training program. With this program we continue to add <br />additional topics as our legislators continue to pass laws that are extremely <br />complicated, unfunded, and have very little guidance regarding proper criminal <br />procedure for officers to follow. <br /> <br />The following is a list of mandated topics and professional training courses attended <br />by our officers during 2007: <br /> <br />LEGAL <br /> <br />County Attorney Update <br />Minnesota Search and Seizure <br /> <br />DWI & Traffic Safety Laws <br />DWI Update <br /> <br />USE OF FORCE <br /> <br />Anoka County Gamma Shoot <br />SMG Familiarization/Recognition <br />Anoka County Night Shoot <br />Summer Shoot <br />Taser@ Recertification <br />Taser@ Familiarization and Deployment <br />Instructor Development <br /> <br />Dynamic Shoot <br />SMG Shoot <br />Scenario-basedlHands On <br />Use of Force Recertification <br />Use of Force Instructor <br />Firearms Recertification <br /> <br />38 <br />
