2031 - Handgun Red Dot Sight Instructor
|
The CJTC Handgun Red Dot Sight Instructor is a 24 hour course. The course is designed to bring current firearms instructors up to date on the fundamentals of teaching and integrating handgun Red Dot Sights (RDS) into their training curriculum or agency program. We strongly recommend this course if you or your agency is in the process of approving the use of, or converting as an agency to handgun RDS.
Due to the advancing technology of the RDS the trend for duty use is increasing at a rapid pace. To meet this challenge and stay relevant with emerging tools and tactics we will cover the technology, concepts, principles and training methodologies to prepare instructors to teach the RDS platform to experienced or novice shooters.
This course has been very well received in 2019. One of the most common pieces of feedback is that instructors did not realize how much there was to learn from a user AND instructor perspective for RDS use on duty handguns.
Prerequisites: Current CJTC Handgun Level 1 Certification
Audience: Active law enforcement officers who meet the prerequisites.
Dress Code: For security reasons, while on the WSCJTC campus are encouraged to wear their agency logo shirt/uniform and have their agency ID badge visible.

2271 - Integrated Arrest Tactics Lead Instructor
|
The 80-hour lead instructor course is the second in a series of three courses that will guide the student to the master instructor level.
Prerequisite: Control and Defensive Tactics Instructor
This course builds on the foundation of the CDT Instructor course. Students will learn how to employ advanced concepts in motor learning to structure a practice session for optimal skill acquisition. In this phase of the road to being a Master Instructor, the student primarily focuses on how to create proper skill sessions, closed skill testing parameters, open skill practices and testing and finally feedback structures to maximize learning.
In addition, students are required to take the information from the Instructor course and begin breaking “out of the box”, focusing on the principles rather than strict technique. This open range approach will help the new instructor find ways to accommodate the many different learning styles, differing physical abilities and the wide range of mental capabilities of the learner.
After completion of this course, the Lead Instructor can now lead classes and teach ALL aspects of the Control and Defensive Tactics curriculum taught at the Basic Law Enforcement Academy. The Lead Instructor is required to teach a minimum of 200 hours under the supervision of a Master Instructor to be eligible for the Master Instructor Program.

|
Presented by the Holocaust Center for Humanity and the Anti-Defamation League,this innovative and nationally acclaimed program for law enforcement examines the history of the Holocaust in which officers learn about the dangers that stereotyping, bigotry and fanatical leadership pose to society. Officers are given the opportunity to reflect upon their roles, responsibilities, and challenges of policing in a democratic society today and their relationship to the people they serve. The program underscores the importance society places on law enforcement as our first line of defense to insure that the constitutional rights of everyone are protected. This program was established in 1999 at the request of DC Metropolitan Police Department; to date this program has reached more than 150,000 officers from the US and 80 countries worldwide.
This course is split into three parts, in the first part, students are introduced to the Holocaust Center for Humanity (Center), the course instructors, and will go through a virtual tour of the Center. In the second part, students will examine the history of the Holocaust. They will be asked to critically think about various scenarios by way of photo analysis and discussion. In the third part of the course students will go through a guided lecture and discussion about the role of law enforcement in today’s society, and more specifically their role in law enforcement and the communities they serve.

4124 - Pre-Supervisors
|
This 40-hour pre-supervisors’ course is designed to acquaint the prospective supervisor with an awareness of the demands and functions of the world of supervision. All too often, the newly appointed supervisor subsequently finds himself or herself immersed in a ‘world’ he or she didn’t anticipate and/or doesn’t understand. The transition from effective line worker to effective supervisor is difficult and challenging. This course seeks to remedy the process by ensuring:
Participants are confronted with a variety of ‘real life’ supervisory scenarios.
Participants can identify the systemic functions of supervision, rather than developing specific supervisory skills the participant may or may not use dependent upon promotional opportunities or personal incentive.
It promotes an understanding of the role of the supervisor, an awareness of what the student brings to the position, and what that 'fit' looks like.
It provides both the student and the organization a realistic framework from which to decide if this is a direction they wish to pursue.
Participants will develop an awareness of:
• The ‘world’ of the supervisor both in terms of its ‘challenges’ and ‘opportunities’.
• Their personal assets and liabilities as they relate to supervision.
• The systemic forces that often fragment organizations and work units and create internal conflict.
• An understanding of the challenges the first line supervisor faces in creating ‘organizational partnership’ at all levels.
• How to create an agency culture that promotes and enhances teamwork and collaboration.
• The role of ‘conflict’ in an organization and how it can help or hinder in moving toward mission accomplishment.
• Their 'Emotional Intelligence' and how it applies to the world of supervision.
Audience: This course is mandated for first-level supervisors actively employed in the corrections and law enforcement.
Pre-Course Work, if applicable, will be emailed to enrolled students or listed below.
Dress Code: For security reasons, while on the WSCJTC campus are encouraged to wear their agency logo shirt/uniform and have their agency ID badge visible.

8020 - LEAD: Building a Collaborative Response to Mental Illness or Substance Use in Your Jurisdiction
|
This ninety-minute presentation and discussion with a panel of officers, prosecutors, and service providers will focus on the LEAD model and its approach to building a collective, multi-agency system of response to reduce the crime and disorder than can stem from unmanaged mental illness or substance use.
LEAD (Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion, also known as Let Everyone Advance with Dignity) is designed to enhance public safety and equity by diverting people with behavioral illness away from arrest and into collaborative systems of response and long-term case management. First implemented in Seattle in 2011, LEAD is now being replicated in dozens of jurisdictions across the United States, including in communities in Washington State; it is also the basis of the state's Recovery Navigator Program (RNP) and Arrest and Jail Alternatives program (AJA).
This presentation will outline the foundational elements of the LEAD model; demonstrate how it can coexist with and enhance the value of a jurisdiction's other response strategies (such as crisis intervention, co-responder programs, and specialty courts); describe the structure and purpose of its collaborative, multi-agency governance and implementation; detail methods to enhance the fidelity and efficacy of a LEAD initiative; illustrate LEAD's benefit for both law enforcement officers and the communities they serve; and offer perspectives and insights from diverse practitioners who are using LEAD in their jurisdictions.
Audience: Law Enforcement, Service Providers, Corrections, Prosecutors
Pre-Course Work: None
Class Times: 0800-0930

8025 - SHIELD- Protecting Those Who Serve During the Overdose Crisis
|
SHIELD trains police officers how to be safe, healthy, and more effective when performing their duties during the overdose crisis. It is a vital resource at a time when police are being asked to do more with less, while facing high risks and reduced public support.
Built on two decades of experience working with law enforcement agencies and deep knowledge of the research base, the SHIELD curriculum is practice driven and solutions-focused. It fills major training gaps, giving officers the tools they need to be safer, healthier, and more effective in these crises.
SHIELD's skills-based learning is delivered peer-to-peer by the SHIELD training team, which is led by a retired police chief and includes research staff at Northeastern University and public health experts. Using an interactive instructional design and customized local information, the three modules are delivered in a single session in person or by Zoom.
Module 1: Resilience. Provides key facts about stress
and burnout. Builds skills for recognizing and
problem solving to remedy the effects of vicarious
trauma, compassion fatigue, and toxic stress.
Module 2: Officer Safety. Provides essential
information about risk levels and operational safety
techniques for needlestick injuries, infectious disease
transmission, and field exposure to fentanyl.
Module 3: Public Safety. Provides strategies and best
practices for improving health and safety and
reducing stress burdens through linkages with
treatment and supportive service providers.

Use of Force - 6239 - Use Of Force Course
|
The primary objective of this Use of Fore (UOF) Course is to prepare law enforcement officers to understand and implement the Use of Force policy developed by the Washington State Office of the Attorney General (or consistent department’s UOF policy). Students will learn the methodology required to successfully deliver the 24-hour UOF Training.
Law Enforcement Officers have come under intense pressure in recent years to prioritize efforts at employing de-escalation techniques in force encounters. Sometimes best practices in de-escalation do not always translate in a complete success or it is not feasible. For example, officers often deal with Acute Behavioral Disturbances. During this course, officers will learn quickly to recognize that someone is suffering from a possible medical condition so they can successfully intervene and provide care when safe and feasible.
This course will also cover Team Tactics and Techniques designed to apply the knowledge learned in the classroom previously. Drills will consist of force options selected to appropriately control and modulate force reasonable and necessary with proportionality.
Finally, the course will include a section that pertains to UOF report writing and the importance understanding human factors, decision-making and memory issues affecting officer’s reports or statements.
