Methamphetamine Clandestine Lab Safety
Law enforcement is confronted with illegal drug manufacturing processes which expose officers to the violence associated with drug organizations but also chemical hazards from these processes. OSHA requires employers to training officers working in these environments to the Hazardous Waste Operations & Emergency Response (HAZWOPER). This class meets the OSHA training requirement and teaches officers to operate safely in the hazardous environment while dismantling a lab. This course uses classroom lecture along with practical exercises to teach the skills necessary to operate safely in the drug lab.
Mexican Drug Cartel Investigations
Mexican Drug Trafficking Organizations are impacting communities in nearly every city in the United States. This problem can no longer be viewed as a “Border Issue.” The majority of the drugs distributed and consumed in the U.S. originate in Mexico. The cartel leaders have strategically formed relationships with American Street gangs to flood the streets with illicit drugs.
Middle East Focus
This 2-day course will familiarize attendees with the history of the Middle East and the culture of regional peoples with special focus on Islam as a religion and as a pattern for living. The program will enable law enforcement to develop strategies that bridge the gap between misunderstanding and beneficial engagement with the Muslim community and individuals of Middle Eastern descent from all religions.
Mid-Level Narcotics Investigations
Basic narcotic training courses focus on drug identification, types of informants, operational planning, and search warrant execution. Advanced narcotic training courses focus on drug cartels, money laundering, complex conspiracy investigations, and interstate/international wiretap cases. While these two types of training programs are a necessary part of drug enforcement, there is a considerable gap in the training available to law enforcement officers that target mid-level drug dealers.
