Getting Closer to the End

Officer Baird is inching closer to graduation as the Patrol Academy #181 nears completion. Hard to believe that by next month Officer Baird will begin his field training. Here’s the latest from Idaho POST Training Specialist Mark Merrill:


“Patrol Academy  #181 is doing well. There was no test this morning, so morale is a little bit higher today. Last week was long and covered Crash and DUI Investigations. The DUI wet lab and the optional radar class made for some long nights. The week ended with Gangs and Gang scenarios.


This week we have a busy Monday with Financial Crimes, Crime Prevention, and Juvenile Procedures. Tomorrow is our GSAT day, which is force on force scenarios and a chance for students to really put their skills to the test. Weds and Thurs is Ground Control and Weapon Retention. We’ll be doing an Arrest Techniques review this week and Friday will be Interview and Interrogation all day.”
