<br />May - November 2007 <br /> <br />Use of Force Training at ACLET (Anoka County Law Enforcement <br />Training Center). <br /> <br />This eight hour training was conducted with other law enforcement <br />members from throughout Anoka County. This training covered <br />handcuffing techniques, weapon retention, baton strikes, chemical <br />irritant deployment, takedowns, and hand to hand combat. The day of <br />training concluded with four hours of scenario-based training with <br />simunitions. <br /> <br />June - July 2007 <br /> <br />Taser Refresher training conducted at our department. <br /> <br />This two hour training included a written test, deploying two <br />cartridges at a target and legal updates. <br /> <br />October - December 2007 <br /> <br />Use of Force training conducted at our department. <br /> <br />This newly implemented two hour training included some refresher <br />training on the basics of handcuffmg, takedowns, baton strikes, and <br />weapon retention. Most of this hands-on training involved five <br />realistic scenarios with the department's Use of Force trainers. This <br />training was made possible because ofthe purchase by this department <br />of a training suit and padded floor mats. <br /> <br />November - December 2007 <br /> <br />Night/Inclement Weather Shoot at the Anoka County outdoor range. <br /> <br />This training was coordinated with all Anoka County agencies and was <br />completed at night. Officers fired 50 rounds from various distances <br />with the use of a flashlight. It also included firing from the "off' hand <br />and using gloves. <br /> <br />In addition to the training conducted in 2007, firearms instructors also cleaned and <br />maintained six SMG's (squad rifles) and inspected officers' weapons, including two <br />surprise inspections. We look forward to adding new training equipment so we can <br />complete more department training at our own facility. <br /> <br />41 <br />
