Another Week at POST

Here’s another quick update from Mark Merrill at the Idaho POST Academy.

Officers completed their 3^rd “Weekly Exam” and averages remain fairly high. The class average was 86.4% for this exam.

They also completed classroom portions for Officer Survival, Patrol Procedures, and Building Search. They also got up and out of the classroom for practical building search instruction, decision shooting exercises, and our Field Skills block that included high risk traffic stops, high-ration contacts, active gunmen and open area movement, and transition drills. A good half of the week was practical and hands-on.

This week’s schedule includes two days of Crash Investigations with an optional Radar class in the evenings, DUI Investigations with the accompanying evening wet lab, and Gangs and Gangs scenarios in the afternoon.
