1 <br /> 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 a well-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 /> 20 <br />
