September 10, 2018 @ 8:00 am - September 11, 2018 @ 4:30 pm
Man-Tracking Procedures
This training program focuses on perimeter containment of Fleeing Subjects while utilizing Man-Tracking skills, deploying K-9, utilization of aviation support, and possibly LPOP’s (Listening Points / Observation Points). These techniques are also utilized for Lost and Missing Persons.
This training would be valuable for all officers, supervisors, and command staff. Training components of this program include:
- The Psychological Profiles of Fleeing Subjects / Lost & Missing Persons issues are taught to assist in understanding early search variables.
- For Fleeing Subjects, the Leap Frogging technique is utilized to shorten the time / distance gap.
- Other areas to be covered would be utilization of a compass, GPS, Downed Officer Reaction/solutions, and arrest procedure upon contact.
Most of the two-days of training will be outside in a variety of conditions and areas. There will also be a lot of physical activity in various terrains. Participants must be prepared by dressing appropriately for the conditions and physical activity (including footwear and headwear).
