2018-09-20 08:00 - 17:00 (America/Detroit) | Baker College – Flint, 1050 W. Bristol Road, Flint, MI, 48507, United States
Beyond the Cones is a training program addressing officer safety and relating to vehicle operation. This course is designed to radically change the police driving culture. Line of Duty Deaths from vehicle related incidents have claimed more than 1200 lives in the past 20 years.
This Seminar will Address:

Line of duty deaths related to vehicle crashes;
Duty related crashes injuring/killing civilians;
Training “responsive” drivers to limit their individual and organizational exposure to liability.

Beyond the Cones will impact the way Street Cops respond to emergencies. Most, if not all, single-vehicle police crashes involving officers responding to critical incidents could be avoided or eliminated. One of the key training objectives of this course is to develop an understanding of how decisions are made through either the “rational v. emotional” process. This course will provide information that is current and fact-based on the realities of emergency responders. Its purpose is to ultimately change the police driving culture thus saving lives.
Instructor/Creator: After a tour with the U.S. Marine Corps, Sergeant Keith Wenzel began his law enforcement career with a mid-size police department. Four years later he was hired as an officer with the Dallas, Texas Police Department. He has worked various assignments, including patrol, covert deployment, and as an academy advisor. In 2007, Keith left patrol and began supervising in-service training at the Dallas Police Academy, developing new curriculum for his 3,600 member department. His responsibilities include vehicle operation, defensive tactics, reality based training and use of force.
Evaluation Comments from previous Seminar hosted by the LEORTC

Excellent and current presentation – Our service had an on-duty collision death in March. More of our people need to hear this message.
Excellent presentation on a very live topic. Everything was very relevant.
Great Course, Great Instructor, Very Pertinent Course Material.
This information/video would be very useful for my presentation to my officers. I like the follow up interviews with officers involved in these incidents.
This course should be taught at Academies and In-Service Schools. Too many young officers feel they are invincible.

Mexican Drug Cartel Investigations

Mexican drug trafficking organizations are impacting communities in nearly every city in the United States. In 2011, Mexican drug cartels operated in 39 states across the country. 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. In an effort to aggressively target drug trafficking organization, law enforcement officials need to understand how the Mexican drug war impacts local cities in the U.S. on a daily basis. The drug cartel leaders have strategically formed relationships with American gangs to flood our communities with illicit drugs. This relationship has caused great concern for law enforcement agencies in the U.S. It is imperative that law enforcement officials gain a true understanding of the “Mexican Cartel & American Street Gang Connection.” This course does not focus on statistical data or other information easily obtained through online searches regarding Mexican drug cartels. The information presented is based on the instructor’s unique experience in conducting long-term undercover operations, wire-tap intercepts, and debriefings of suspects directly linked to various Mexican drug cartels.
