Beyond the Cones
September 20, 2018 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
Beyond the Cones is a training program addressing officer safety and relating to vehicle operation. This course is designed to radically change the police driving culture. Line of Duty Deaths from vehicle related incidents have claimed more than 1200 lives in the past 20 years.
This Seminar will Address:
- Line of duty deaths related to vehicle crashes;
- Duty related crashes injuring/killing civilians;
- Training “responsive” drivers to limit their individual and organizational exposure to liability.
Beyond the Cones will impact the way Street Cops respond to emergencies. Most, if not all, single-vehicle police crashes involving officers responding to critical incidents could be avoided or eliminated. One of the key training objectives of this course is to develop an understanding of how decisions are made through either the “rational v. emotional” process. This course will provide information that is current and fact-based on the realities of emergency responders. Its purpose is to ultimately change the police driving culture thus saving lives.
Instructor/Creator: After a tour with the U.S. Marine Corps, Sergeant Keith Wenzel began his law enforcement career with a mid-size police department. Four years later he was hired as an officer with the Dallas, Texas Police Department. He has worked various assignments, including patrol, covert deployment, and as an academy advisor. In 2007, Keith left patrol and began supervising in-service training at the Dallas Police Academy, developing new curriculum for his 3,600 member department. His responsibilities include vehicle operation, defensive tactics, reality based training and use of force.
Evaluation Comments from previous Seminar hosted by the LEORTC
- Excellent and current presentation – Our service had an on-duty collision death in March. More of our people need to hear this message.
- Excellent presentation on a very live topic. Everything was very relevant.
- Great Course, Great Instructor, Very Pertinent Course Material.
- This information/video would be very useful for my presentation to my officers. I like the follow up interviews with officers involved in these incidents.
- This course should be taught at Academies and In-Service Schools. Too many young officers feel they are invincible.
