| The Monroeville
Police Department is offering an opportunity for
area Departments to participate in a “day
of training” instructed at the Monroeville
Public Safety Training Center.
The goal of these reoccurring sessions is
to provide current police officers with an economical
and convenient way to receive training in areas
that are often difficult to receive.
These are very intense one day classes designed
to maximize the training received and allow
officers a chance to sharpen their skills and
to do their jobs safely.
Each session includes the following:
Defensive Tactics (2 hours)
Each officer will receive 2 hours of defensive
tactics training. This training will include
handcuffing, impact weapons, holds, and ground
fighting. Emphasis on avoiding positional asphyxia
and transportation issues will be included.
(Departments may request OC and Taser Re- certification
if required.)
High Speed Driving – Skid Avoidance
Training (2 hours)
Officers will train in high speed braking
and cornering techniques as well as skid control
and avoidance using SkidCar Systems. SkidCar
uses an actual Ford Crown Victoria patrol car
outfitted with a hydraulic lift system to simulate
speed and traction loss. SkidCar is a very safe
method to driver train officers with the benefit
of real G-forces and controls.
Firearms Training (4 hours)
Officers will receive four hours of range
instruction on our 2 ranges. Training will focus
on basic pistol, shotgun and patrol rifle drills.
The training can be tailored to meet the needs
of individual officers to work on problem areas,
or drills to increase speed and accuracy. The
ranges include turning targets and reactive
steel. This is not a State qualification course!
The course is designed for training and practice.
The cost of the one day course is $100 per
officer. Each officer must provide his own weapon
and ammunition.
Space is strictly limited to 20 officers per
session. To register for a session, first check
