2002 POLICE OFFICER EDUCATION REVIEW <br />. Prepared by Lt. Scholl <br />One of the most important things we can do to maintain a professional law <br />enforcement agency is to invest in our personnel. The key to organization, <br />execution, leadership, and risk management is having swell-balanced <br />educational program. In this volatile world of lawsuits, such training is an <br />inexpensive insurance policy. <br />In 2002 the St. Anthony Police Department met State Police Officer <br />Standards & Training guidelines in the following required areas: <br />• Use of Force <br />• OSHA <br />• Pursuit Driving <br />• Firearms Training <br />• Emergency Medical Services <br />• In 2000, the emphasis was placed on risk management. In 2001 the <br />emphasis was placed on officer survival. In 2002, the St. Anthony Police <br />Department strengthened the above fields of training. <br />Sergeant Diegnau started work toward achieving his Bureau of Criminal of <br />Apprehension Supervisor Certification. <br />In 2002 we trained in: <br />• Less-lethal use of force alternatives <br />• Racial Profiling <br />• Tactical Response <br />Our 2003 goals are to maintain our minimum standards of training required <br />by the State. Like 2001 and 2002, we will continue our training with little to <br />no overtime use. We will look for cost effective schools that offer training, <br />which will enhance the education for our officers. By utilizing our own <br />certified trainers, we will offer cost effective in-house training. <br />
