Driving Force FAAC/Milo Range Simulator

Instructor Course

Instructor: Robert Pyszka and Matt Peters

June 1-3, 2026

 8am – 4pm

 Class will meet at: Peru City Hall, 1901 4^th Street, Peru, IL

 Enrollment Deadline:  May 25, 2026

Course Size:  Max 6

What to bring: Duty Belt and Vest (if your taser is on your vest)

Course Objective

The “Driving Force” feature within MILO Range systems, from FAAC, is designed to simulate complex driving and force options in training scenarios. It’s a part of the broader MILO Range platform, which offers a variety of virtual and live training solutions for law enforcement and other public safety professionals.

In the Driving Force simulation, Instructors will learn how to respond to calls in the patrol car, conduct an investigation and field interview, make a simulated arrest and implement a level of force necessary to gain compliance from a subject. The most valuable component of this combined training is that it takes the officer from the beginning to the end of a call.

 Course Content

Realistic environments provide real experience. Real industrial disasters, active shooter events, and municipal crises are rarely limited to one fire-fighting team, a single first-responder vehicle, or even a single agency or department.  Real emergencies are truly complex phenomena, with many moving parts.

 FAAC solutions thread multiple learning events together through one constant scenario, optimized for adult learning. In order to assure superior skills retention, we focus on crafting an emotionally vivid hands-on experience that offers novel challenges while demanding participants immediately use target skills and apply appropriate policies.

Course Objective

This 8-hour block of training has been specifically designed by Drug Educational Awareness, LLC to provide students with the knowledge to correctly respond to claims made by the defense during cross examination at a DUI trial.

Course Content

This training is designed for the experienced law enforcement officer who conducts DUI investigations.  It will provide the student with a wide variety of questions often used by defense attorneys in court.  These questions are typically designed to confuse and manipulate an officer to answer in a manner which benefits the defense.  The questions sometimes focus on items that may not be annotated in training manuals nor part of an officer’s typical DUI training.  Regrettably, many of the questions asked by the defense are actually part of the officer’s training and should be answered correctly.  Officers should also be confident answering the predicate questions used by the prosecution to lay the foundation for their testimony.  

Participants attending the training will be engaged with an inter-active internet presentation utilizing real-time multiple-choice questions. Responses by the participants will remain anonymous.  Participants will subsequently receive feed-back on the accuracy of their responses.  A discussion will follow each question to address correct and incorrect answers.      

Each aspect of the DUI detection and arrest process will be addressed.  Officers are often questioned on pharmacology and physiology as it relates to alcohol and drugs.  Eye examinations are particularly relevant to a DUI investigation and defense attorneys may focus their questioning on the officer’s knowledge and procedures.  The final portion of the training will focus on the chemical testing of breath, blood, and urine with an emphasis on answering questions regarding the administrative rules for chemical testing.  Relevant court cases will be highlighted throughout the training.  Emphasis will be placed on providing correct answers to the questions posed by the defense and dispel existing myths.  The objectives for the participants are to:  

The objectives for the participants are to:  

Accurately answer predicate questions used by the prosecution during direct

Accurately answer questions regarding curriculums provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Chris enjoys teaching and speaking, and is an Illinois Certified Crisis Intervention Instructor as well as a CIT International certified CIT Coordinator.  His speaking credits include numerous local and regional organizations, as well as the Illinois State NAMI Conference.  At home Chris enjoys spending time outdoors; camping with his dogs (Ellie an Australian Shepherd and Piper a Border Collie); traveling; and cooking.

Acting Lieutenant Heather Hansen began her career in Law Enforcement in 1989. She served as a corrections officer, probation officer and was a police and fire dispatcher. In 1995 she was commissioned as a State Trooper with the Illinois State Police. As a Trooper in the Chicago area, Heather was assigned to a special enforcement team that focused on gangs, guns, drugs, reckless drivers and DUIs. She has served in many additional roles in the last thirty years.

Twelve years of Heather’s career with the I.S.P. was spent as a crime scene investigator in the south suburbs of Chicago. She was the crime scene investigator for over 1200 major cases including hundreds of death investigations, 275 homicides, (including scenes with multiple deaths and entire families) and cases covered on a national basis.  She received the Department Medal of Achievement for creating the State of Illinois five-week crime scene investigators curriculum. Heather served as the Coordinator of the CSI course and trained and certified hundreds of officers as crime scene investigators for the State Police and 90 additional police departments. Heather has been qualified in State Criminal and Federal Court as an Expert Witness in Crime Scene Investigation.

Heather has worked for the North Eastern Multi-Regional Training Corporation for the last 18 years. One area of her career that she is most proud of is that she has trained and collaborated with over 4500 law enforcement officers in the areas of Lead Homicide Investigator, Instructor Development, Career Survival, Fingerprinting, Footwear, Weapons, Biology/DNA, Tool Marks, Courtroom Testimony and working crime scenes from discovery of the first piece of evidence to courtroom conviction. Notable highlights of Heather’s testimonies include a life sentence for an offender that ambushed and murdered a Metra Railroad Police Officer; and a 126 year sentence for an offender who, with a juvenile accomplice, committed a home invasion, sexual assault and kidnapping of a woman terrorizing her and using her own vehicle during commission of the crimes. Currently, Heather is an instructor with 4 mobile training units throughout Illinois.

Heather has ascended the ranks and was promoted from Master Sergeant to Acting Lieutenant in 2019. She currently serves as Lieutenant of patrol and the Operations officer for 4 counties west of the Chicagoland area, at District 16 of the Illinois State Police.  Heather also serves as a crisis and hostage negotiator on the Northern Swat and Crisis Negotiations Team.

Finally, Heather is most comfortable and inspired with the criminal patrol she sees from great officers every day. As crime rates rise across the Country she focuses on solid investigative techniques, identifying physical evidence that merits convictions in the eyes of jurors and our justice system.

Government buildings continue to be a target, just turn on the news! With that being said, courthouses and courtrooms are especially vulnerable targets due to fact they are not only government facilities but also where our criminal justice system operates. With many potential targets utilizing the courthouse daily, including defendants, victims, family and domestic parties, judges and numerous county officials, disruptions are on the rise.
Courthouse/courtroom incidents range from minor disruptions such as picketing to physical assault and even murder. Regardless of your experience, there is no assurance that violence will not happen in your court. The question is not “if it will happen but when?”

Course Objectives:

Violent Court Incidents/Case Studies – By examining in detail past court incidents and case studies, students will be able to begin the process of accessing their own courtroom, courthouse, parking lots, grounds and current security systems and protocols.
Legal Issues of Courtroom/Courthouse Security – This session will cover case law in order to prepare each student with a working knowledge of what they “can” and “can’t” do legally.
Overview of Courtroom Security – This session will cover and discuss profiles of those involved in courtroom/courthouse incidents, various stages of the proceeding in which incidents and disruptions are more likely to occur, and prepare the students with a background in statistics to better prepare them for potential incidents.
Daily Operational Concerns for Courtroom/Courthouse Security – By examining the “5 Elements of Courthouse/Courtroom Security” a foundation for security begins to develop with court security personnel, court tenants, policies and procedures and the securing of the physical facility.
Prisoner/Defendant Security – This session will cover how to prepare for and minimize disruptions from in-custody defendants, transportation pitfalls, various restraints, communications, searches, juveniles and a myriad of topics dealing with court appearances.
High Risk/Critical Situations – This session will be devoted to high risk trials, sequestered juries, protests and many other situations that there is time to prepare, implement and execute a appropriate plan to mitigate the risks.
Bomb Threats/Natural Disasters and Other Emergencies – There is the potential for a wide variety of emergency situations to arise at a courthouse, oftentimes with little or no warning. This session gives the students an overview of potential problems, and prepares them with plans and procedures to implement to properly prepare for these types of emergency situations.
Sovereign Citizens – This session will give an overview to all students to the potential issues and the tactics used by sovereign citizens, from simple disruptions to dangerous life threatening situations.
Courtroom/Courthouse Survey – This session will enable the students to return and complete a physical site survey of their courtroom/courthouse. They will receive a sample survey to utilize and/or modify to fit their individual setting. This will also be the basis for requesting additional resources and security personnel.

September 28-October 1, 2026

8am – 5pm

 Class will meet at: Peru PD, 2650 Peoria Street, Peru, IL 

Enrollment Deadline:  September 21, 2026

Course Size:  Minimum 15 – Maximum – 25

Bring a charged laptop all handouts will be provided on thumb drive

Course Objective

This four-day, 32-hour program has been designed by expert practitioners from the fields of juvenile law, social work, and law enforcement to assist recently assigned juvenile officers in the legal, moral, and social issues that they will encounter in their positions as juvenile specialists. Public Act 88-7 requires “Juvenile Officers” to complete a course as prescribed by the Board. This course meets that requirement.

Course Overview:

The focus of this course is primarily to provide police officers with the skills, knowledge, and abilities needed to perform their duties as juvenile officers. In this unique role, juvenile officers not only enforce laws, but also respond compassionately and effectively to family problems. They serve as protectors of society by investigating criminal acts for findings of delinquency and as supporters of youths by helping them to grow out of adolescence without experiencing the stigma of police involvement.

Specific topics to be addressed in this program include the following:

• The role and responsibility of the Juvenile Officer
• Gaining perspectives on the assignment
• Child development
• Child psychology
• Communicating with adolescents and parents
• Adolescents and electronic influences
• Intervention and prevention strategies
• Article I of the Juvenile Court Act: General provisions
• Article II of the Juvenile Court Act: Abused, neglected, and dependent minors
• Article III of the Juvenile Court Act: Minors requiring authoritative intervention
• Article IV of the Juvenile Court Act: Addicted Minors
• Article V of the Juvenile Court Act: Delinquent minors
• Psychodynamics of child abuse
• The role of law enforcement and social services
• Protective custody • Investigative techniques
• Preparing child abuse cases for court
• Sexual abuse and sexual exploitation investigations

Course Goals:

The goals of this course are to make officers particularly aware of the demographics of the burgeoning youth population, which is becoming increasingly more vulnerable to gang recruitment, violent crime, sexual exploitation, alcohol, and drug abuse, and carrying weapons. Officers will become uniquely aware of these problems and the needs facing the children, adolescents, young adults, and parents that they will be serving in their capacity as juvenile officers. Throughout the program, participation in supportive networks such as Juvenile Officer Associations, Gang Task Forces, and high school liaison programs will be discussed and encouraged.

Course Objective

This four-day, 32-hour program has been designed by expert practitioners from the fields of juvenile law, social work, and law enforcement to assist recently assigned juvenile officers in the legal, moral, and social issues that they will encounter in their positions as juvenile specialists. Public Act 88-7 requires “Juvenile Officers” to complete a course as prescribed by the Board. This course meets that requirement.

Course Overview:

The focus of this course is primarily to provide police officers with the skills, knowledge, and abilities needed to perform their duties as juvenile officers. In this unique role, juvenile officers not only enforce laws, but also respond compassionately and effectively to family problems. They serve as protectors of society by investigating criminal acts for findings of delinquency and as supporters of youths by helping them to grow out of adolescence without experiencing the stigma of police involvement.

Specific topics to be addressed in this program include the following:

• The role and responsibility of the Juvenile Officer
• Gaining perspectives on the assignment
• Child development
• Child psychology
• Communicating with adolescents and parents
• Adolescents and electronic influences
• Intervention and prevention strategies
• Article I of the Juvenile Court Act: General provisions
• Article II of the Juvenile Court Act: Abused, neglected, and dependent minors
• Article III of the Juvenile Court Act: Minors requiring authoritative intervention
• Article IV of the Juvenile Court Act: Addicted Minors
• Article V of the Juvenile Court Act: Delinquent minors
• Psychodynamics of child abuse
• The role of law enforcement and social services
• Protective custody • Investigative techniques
• Preparing child abuse cases for court
• Sexual abuse and sexual exploitation investigations

Course Goals:

The goals of this course are to make officers particularly aware of the demographics of the burgeoning youth population, which is becoming increasingly more vulnerable to gang recruitment, violent crime, sexual exploitation, alcohol, and drug abuse, and carrying weapons. Officers will become uniquely aware of these problems and the needs facing the children, adolescents, young adults, and parents that they will be serving in their capacity as juvenile officers. Throughout the program, participation in supportive networks such as Juvenile Officer Associations, Gang Task Forces, and high school liaison programs will be discussed and encouraged.
