Modern investigators are frequently faced with the investigation of incidents involving the discharge of firearms. Whether the incident is a criminal act, an act of self-defense, or the use of deadly force by law enforcement, the outcome of these investigations often has far-reaching consequences.

This comprehensive 5-day (40-hour) Shooting Incident Reconstruction course is specially designed for case officers/investigators, forensic technicians, crime scene analysts, and others involved in shooting incident analysis. Through both lecture and practical exercises, students will learn and practice shooting scene reconstruction methodologies and evaluate positions and evidentiary relationships between the shooter, scene, victim, and other evidence.
All main concepts are reinforced through hands-on practical exercises using historically-based case scenarios. * Includes exercises conducted at a shooting range.

Credit Hours: 8
Course Number: R4139
Description:
Does physically surviving a gunfight mean you won? Not by a long shot. Many people survive gunfights. In fact, most people who are in a gunfight survive. But there is a difference between surviving and winning. Surviving means you continue to exist. Continuing to exist and winning are not the same.
Everyone who carries a gun for personal protection or the protection of others needs to understand what they will face before, during, and after a gunfight. This seminar, based on Winning a Gunfight, helps prepare the modern warrior to win in the event they face a deadly foe.

R4 Suicide is not an Option- Idaho Falls CANCELLED LACK OF REGISTRATIONS
CANCELLED
Credit Hours: 8
Course Number: R4138
Description:
America’s law enforcement officers are significantly more likely to die by suicide than being murdered in the line of duty. For years mental health professionals have come alongside officers with treatment, assistance, and counsel. Yet, the suicide rate continues to increase. Can this ever-increasing suicide rate among these warriors be stopped?
In this seminar, Law Enforcement Chaplain Tim Rupp approaches suicide from a spiritual health perspective. Rupp argues there is meaning to life beyond the individual. Humans are not only physical and mental beings, but spiritual beings who yearn for a yet to be experienced life beyond. This eternal hope instilled in every person gives meaning to life and a reason to hope. Hope for more, hope for new, hope for better. Rupp believes that this intrinsic hope is a key to reduce the suicide rate among our warriors.
Target Audience: Law enforcement officers, military, chaplains, mental health professionals, peer support team, and clergy who minister to LEOs
