Tactical Field Operations – Man Tracking
This training program focuses on containing fleeing subjects within a perimeter using man-tracking skills, K-9 teams, aviation support, and, when appropriate, LPOPs (Listening Points/Observation Points). These techniques also apply to searches for lost and missing persons.
This training would be valuable for all officers, K9 handlers, supervisors, and command staff. Training components of this program include:
• The Psychological Profiles of Fleeing Subjects / Lost & Missing Persons issues are taught to assist in understanding early search variables.
• For Fleeing Subjects, the Leap Frogging technique is utilized to shorten the time / distance gap.
• Other areas to be covered would be utilization of a compass, GPS, Downed Officer Reaction/solutions, and arrest procedure upon contact.
Most of the two-day training will take place outdoors in varied conditions and terrain and will involve significant physical activity. Participants must be prepared with clothing, footwear, and headwear appropriate for the weather, terrain, and activity level.
