Course Object This 40-hour program is designed to provide selected officers with specialized training on dealing with individuals in the community who have a mental illness or other behavioral disability. CIT officers are trained as resource specialists who can provide immediate response to calls involving a mental health crisis. The “team” concept refers to law enforcement involvement with stakeholder agencies, as well as interagency mutual assistance when appropriate. The course will be conducted by a diverse group of law enforcement and behavioral health professionals. During the week, students will participate in a variety of valuable exercises that will simulate auditory and 3-D visual hallucinations that individuals with a mental illness might experience. The program will also provide officers with a unique opportunity to interact with individuals who have a mental illness and their family members (primary and secondary consumers). An essential part of the CIT course is scenario-based skills training. Officers are challenged with realistic scenarios portrayed by professional actors from Chicago and St. Louis. Scenarios may include a suicide intervention, de-escalating a violent situation, or responding to a call involving an individual experiencing paranoia. All scenarios are facilitated and evaluated by certified CIT officers.

Failure to act could have catastrophic consequences resulting in death and/or great bodily harm to innocent people. These incidents may also necessitate the immediate and rapid deployment of patrol personnel to contain and prevent the escape of an armed and dangerous offender or rescue a downed officer and/or civilian.

This is not a basic pistol class. Departments should refrain from sending below average shooters to this course. Rather, it is an advanced application course for officers who need to pressure-test their shooting ability in positions and conditions that more closely resemble actual gunfights. Students will work with optic-equipped duty pistols only and will fire approximately 1,000 rounds over two days in drills designed to challenge balance, grip integrity, target focus, visual discipline, stress management, positional adaptability, and engagement accuracy. Instruction in this course moves beyond static marksmanship and focuses on the shooter’s ability to function when the fight becomes inconvenient, physically taxing, and mentally compressed. Students will engage from behind cover, while kneeling, from seated and grounded positions, while moving to positions of advantage, immediately after physical exertion, and from compromised body orientations such as supine or partially supported positions. The course also introduces practical point shooting concepts for close-range, high-speed engagements and teaches students how to maintain an effective pistol grip that supports recoil control, rapid recovery, and usable accuracy under stress. The overall intent is to expose officers to the messiness of real-world deadly force problems and condition them to continue performing with discipline, aggression, and precision. Students must be physically capable of elevating their heart rates safely and without medical concern. Students MUST be of average physical fitness or higher. (POWER test standard) Students MUST either be certified firearms instructors or have at least 3 shooting courses in their training history within the last 18 months. Students MUST bring 1000 rds of ammunition for the weapon they will shoot. Students MUST have an appropriate holster for their weapon/optic/light combo. Students MUST bring their duty belts. Students MUST bring their vests. Students MUST bring eye and ear protection. Students MUST bring 20 “dummy” training rounds for their weapon. Students MUST bring at least 3 training magazines for their weapon. 5 is preferred. Students MUST have an optic mounted on their handguns prior to arriving to class. Students MUST have their optic zeroed prior to arriving to class. Students should bring a knee pad. Student should bring a baseball hat. Student should dress for the weather is the range is outdoor.

University, Poplar P101, Peoria, IL 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.
