DCJS is pleased to announce the availability of a Municipal Police Training Council (MPTC) ten-day Defensive Tactics Instructor course designed to train all new instructors that have not previously completed an approved DCJS Defensive Tactics Instructor course.
This instructor level course will focus on training defensive tactics instructors in a principle based defensive tactics system. The principle based tactics system, which includes instruction on a simplified and reduced number of tactics, will provide instructor candidates with improved methodology and additional time to master the hands-on tactics while in the training environment. This will ensure that police officer recruits receive the necessary tools to ensure they can overcome a hands-on force situation on the street.
Course Topics Include:
• Principles of Defensive Control Tactics
• 1 and 2 Officer Ground Control Techniques
• 1 and 2 Officer Takedowns
• Striking Techniques
• Weapon Retention Techniques
• Weapons Defense Techniques
• Handcuffing Techniques
The course was developed by a panel of subject matter experts and consists of 10 days of training. It combines lectures and practical exercises with a focus on safety, equipment, training principles and techniques designed to give trainers the skills and instructor manual to develop and conduct hands on defensive tactics training. This course will be held:
Monroe County – June 3-14, 2019
Due to the hands-on, physical nature of this course, seating will be very limited. As a reminder, this course will be physically demanding; it is important that you are confident in your physical ability to complete the training. Course preference will be given to those instructors who will be utilized to teach these skills at local training academies. In order to attend the training, the officer must have completed an approved DCJS Instructor Development Course prior to attending this training.
Registrations must be received no later than May 6th, 2019. Specifics on location and training times will be provided in the confirmation notice sent out two weeks prior to the training.

Fentanyl: Trends, Inv. & Officer Safety - Tompkins Co.

This two-day class is being offered:
June 18-19, 2019 – Tompkins County
In conjunction with Cornell University Police
June 20-21, 2019 – Schenectady County

The Course:
Fentanyl has quickly become one of the most dangerous and challenging drug- related threats to communities and law enforcement officials across the United States. Fentanyl is a synthetic opiate used as a surgical anesthetic or as a narcotic to treat chronic and severe pain. Its most commonly used in cancer patients; however, over the last couple of years it’s been blamed for the death of thousands of Americans. It’s characterized by the CDC as an “incapacitating agent,” and provides a substantial risk to law enforcement.
Many law enforcement officers are not aware of these risks and the results can be deadly. If this isn’t scary enough, add Carfentanil to the list of cutting agents used with heroin. Carfentanil is upwards of 100x times stronger than regular fentanyl and fatal to humans. Today more than ever, law enforcement needs to prepare themselves to deal with this risk.
Topics Covered:
• Why Fentanyl
• Risks to Law Enforcement
• Recognition and Awareness
• Symptoms of Exposure
• Response to Accidental Exposure
• Overdoes Death Investigations
• Preservation of Evidence during Active Investigation both on patrol and Undercover operations
• Packaging and Distribution methods
• Undercover operations involving Heroin/Fentanyl
• Current Fentanyl Trends and Cutting Agents
• Evidence Handing & Safety Precautions
Enrollment for this training session is limited. Therefore, you must receive confirmation on attendance. To register for this course please use the following link (copy and paste into browser):

Police Mental Health Instructor Training - Monroe Co.
The New York State Office of Mental Health, Division of Forensic Services, in conjunction with the New York State Division of Criminal Justices Services, Office of Public Safety, is pleased to offer the Police Mental Health Recruit Curriculum – New Instructor Level training. This course satisfies the instructor development requirement, mandated by the Municipal Police Training Council, for instructing the mental health section (renamed Fundamental Crisis Intervention Skills for Law Enforcement in December 2017) of the Basic Course for Police Officers. The course includes hands-on scenarios encountered by police when responding to calls for service involving a person experiencing a mental health crisis situation. Individuals attending this course should be prepared to participate in scenario based activities. There is no fee to attend.
The course will be delivered over three days and has been scheduled as indicated below. Please choose from the following:
• Monroe County - June 17-19, 2019
The Mental Health Instructor course is designed to be co-presented by a law enforcement instructor and a county or other local mental health professional instructor in a team teaching format. Please note the following course prerequisites:
Law Enforcement instructors – must have successfully completed the MPTC Instructor Development Course for police or peace officers prior to attending.
Mental Health professionals – must meet the following qualifications: a Bachelor’s degree in a mental health field plus five years of service delivery experience, or a Master’s degree or higher in a mental health field. In addition to completing a course registration, mental health professionals are required to simultaneously submit a resume and Personal History Form (link at bottom of this announcement, to be completed by Mental Health professionals only!) to OMH.
Additionally, written confirmation from the local police academy and the county mental health director or equivalent are also required with your submission. Documents should be scanned and emailed to ForensicTraining@omh.ny.gov
Background
The New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services, Office of Public Safety is in the process of completing a comprehensive review and update of the Municipal Police Training Council’s (MPTC) Basic Course for Police Officers (BCPO). During the December 6, 2017 MPTC meeting the Council approved a revised section of instruction on mental illness. This updated section, now titled Fundamental Crisis Intervention Skills for Law Enforcement will impact the BCPO as well as other related programs that utilize the BCPO for instruction and/or equivalency. The following is a summary of the changes that have been made to the curriculum and an overview of the implementation plan for instructors to become familiar with the new curriculum.
In standing with the recommendation that this section be team taught by a law enforcement instructor and a mental health practitioner, all academies are asked to have identify and send members of their instructional team to these training sessions, if it is not currently being co-instructed. If you need assistance in identifying a Mental Health Practitioner in your area, please contact Raná Meehan by email at rana.meehan@omh.ny.gov or by telephone at (518) 549-2142.
Overview of Changes
The Mental Illness section has been replaced by the new Fundamental Crisis Intervention Skills for Law Enforcement section and the minimum number of hours of instruction has increased from fourteen to twenty. Whereas the former section focused on the characteristics of mental illness and law enforcement interventions in high and low risk encounters with emotionally distressed persons, the new section focuses on more specific mental health issues, impact of community, and how law enforcement can safely and effectively respond to an individual who is experiencing an emotional crisis. The new section also places a strong emphasis on crisis intervention skills, teaching law enforcement how to recognize, identify and assess the person and situation as one involving an emotionally distressed person and how to respond accordingly. The new section builds upon core skills of communication and decision-making while being rooted in an understanding of use of force issues and defensive tactics. This section teaches recruits to effectively respond to a mental health call with the goal of reducing potential injury to everyone involved and appropriately redirecting the individual in crisis to local resources.
Implementation Requirements of New Curriculum for Police and Peace Basic Training
The change in the focus of this section is significant. The Municipal Police Training Council (MPTC) recognizes the degree to which the section has been changed and the importance of a consistent delivery statewide. Therefore, the MPTC is requiring all instructors who will deliver this new lesson receive specialized instruction. Accordingly, DCJS has created an implementation plan which includes providing this instruction to those trainers who currently teach this module of training or who wish to become certified to do so. To further assist academies in meeting this new instructor requirement, we are offering this series of new instructor training courses regionally across New York State. These training sessions are being conducted in a timely fashion to prepare academies to begin using the new curriculum by the required dates for police and peace officers – as outlined below.
Police and Peace Officer Training Implementation
Basic Course for Police Officers and Campus Public Safety Training Course
All training academies and agencies submitting course curricula for approval to conduct a Basic Course for Police Officers and /or Campus Public Safety Officer Course that would begin on or after September 1, 2018 must utilize the new Fundamental Crisis Intervention Skills for Law Enforcement curriculum. Instruction must also be provided by a DCJS approved general topics instructor who has successfully completed the Fundamental Crisis Intervention Skills for Law Enforcement instructor training (register via this announcement). Currently certified Police Mental Health instructors should attend the update version of this training, if they have not already done so.
Pre-Registration is required. All interested parties must register two weeks prior to the course. The specific location of training and class times will be provided through an email confirmation; therefore, you must register to attend.
