2021 In-Service Training - Fall I

Description: ISTP is a two-day training event that will focus on Emergency Vehicle Operations (EVO), Defensive Tactics, and Firearms Training.  Each class will be offered twice to help agencies in balancing class requirements, yet still provide adequate patrols and meet other scheduling needs.  Firearms will be a six-hour course. Emergency Vehicle Operations (EVO) will be taught in three-hour blocks in conjunction with Defensive Tactics (DT).

Emergency Vehicle Operations:  This is a three-hour course.  Officers will attend either the morning or afternoon session and attend the DT course during the opposite period of instruction.  This course is required before attending NMLETG Advance Driving courses.  Instruction will include emergency vehicle operation, precision driving, and vehicular pursuit techniques.  Officers will be briefed on the Below 100 Program to enhance safety and reduce line-of-duty deaths.

• Required material/equipment:  Wear duty uniform, duty belt, ballistic armor, duty flashlight, and issued rain gear.  Vehicles will NOT be provided by NMLETG this year; agency vehicles must be safe and serviceable.
• Prerequisites:  MCOLES Certified Officers only.

Defensive Tactics (DT) Level One:  DT Level One is a three-hour course.  In this session officers will be instructed on DT training consisting of verbal and physical instruction of the techniques vital to today’s law enforcement officer’s safety.  Instruction will include verbal, static, and dynamic instruction that allows officers to build confidence through a proactive hands-on approach to handcuffing, searching, weapons retention/takeaways, physical escapes, takedowns, and strikes and counter-strikes.  This is a dynamic learning environment with emphasis placed strongly on each officer’s safety.

• Required material/ equipment:  Physical Training Uniform, Department training records for documentation (if applicable).
• Prerequisites:  None

Firearms: This is a six-hour, one day course beginning at 9:00 am utilizing the Live Fire Shoot House (Range #4).  Instruction will include Force on Force scenarios with room clearing, shoot/don’t shoot scenarios and two officer tactics.  Shoot House will be crawl/walk/run build up training with officer safety  priority.  This new iteration exposes officers to live fire in a building utilizing Sig Sauer Simunition capable weapon systems.

*** The Firearms course will not replace the annual requirement for MCOLES qualification.  It is highly recommended that this portion of firearms training be conducted by the officer’s home agency.
