Shotgun on Patrol Tactics (TCOLE)

Long Course Description

Course Number

Overview
This is a Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) Shotgun on Patrol Tactics online training course offered for Texas Peace Officers, Jailers, and Telecommunicators.

Prior to the U.S. becoming a country, the tactical shotgun was a favorite weapon of law enforcement. It can deliver a variety of munitions from less-lethal to the most deadly available to the average peace officer. It is easy to master and cost effective. Yet, for most agencies, the shotgun is the most under-utilized tool available to officers. Why? Because most officers receive only minimum training on its importance and use.

This course will guide officers and managers through the versatility of the shotgun, selection of equipment, a better understanding of munitions and their various applications, and tactical considerations that can bring all of these elements into clearer focus. Some advanced weapons management is included as well.

Please note, the entire course final exam(s), and course evaluation(s) must be completed in order to receive one (1) hour of course credit.

Overview
This is a Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) Social Media for Law Enforcement online training course offered for Texas Peace Officers, Jailers, and Telecommunicators.

Social media inundates every aspect of our lives these days. With the development of websites such as facebook, Twitter, Wikipedia, and Reddit there has been a dramatic shift in the way information is disseminated and shared with the masses. There remains much debate as to the validity of this shared information and its sources, but there is little debate that more and more people are choosing to share personal intimate information about their lives with the rest of the world. Such a sharp adjustment in the public’s willingness to share these private details offers up many additional investigative tools. At the same time, there is an alarming trend of enforcement officers using social networking to their personal and agency’s detriment. This is particularly alarming when we find officers loosing their jobs, and even going to jail for their actions.

This course provides details on some of the most popular social media sites, and your freedom of speech rights. It offers specific warnings on ways to protect yourself, and provides guidance with respect to policy development on this critical issue.

Please note, the entire course final exam(s), and course evaluation(s) must be completed in order to receive one (1) hour of course credit.

Suicide Detection & Prevention in Jails #3501 (TCOLE)
Long Course Description

Course Number
3501
Price (Shown in U.S. Dollars)
45.00

Overview
This is the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) mandated Suicide Detention & Prevention in Jails #3501 course offered in an online training format for Texas Jailers.

Suicide is often the single most common cause of death in correctional settings. Each year in Texas, jails average 34 to 60 or more inmate suicides while in the custody of a local jail. This course was created to provide county corrections officers with an understanding of offenders with mental impairments, suicidal behavior, and methods for detection and prevention of suicide. Suicide prevention should begin at arrest, and continue throughout the individual's stay in a correctional facility. Experience has shown that many jail suicides can be averted with implementation of a comprehensive prevention program that includes staff training, intake screening, communication between staff, appropriate and safe housing, frequent observation, prompt intervention, and human interaction between staff and inmates. The State of Texas recognizes that the prevention of suicide by inmates is a critical issue to be addressed in all correctional facilities by the correctional staff, because suicide continues to be a leading cause of death within jails, prisons, and juvenile facilities throughout the country.

Please note, the entire course (including any applicable course parts), final exam(s), and course evaluation(s) must be completed in order to receive eight (8) hours of course credit.
