Region 5 Training Council
 
Training Schedule
Below is the schedule of training programs available through the Region 5 Training Council. As new programs become available they will be added to the list. Please check back to see what new classes are being offered.


Any agency planning on offering training and has room for additional students is asked to give us the times, dates and program information so we can offer this training to other law enforcement officers. We are all under financial constraints and sharing resources can help out other departments who otherwise could not get their staff trained.
Region 5 Training Council serves Law Enforcement Agencies in Penobscot and Piscataquis Counties as well as agencies from throughout the State.

Practical And Tactical Handcuffing (PATH) Instructor’s Course        July 14, 2008
 
Handcuffs are among the most often used tool by officers, yet training is severely lacking. Studies show that over 67% of resistance by subjects occurs after the first handcuff has been applied. All too often the result is injury and/or death to either the officer or subject.
 
This eight hour instructor course is the most complete and innovative handcuffing course in the country.  The techniques presented are practical and effective.  Topics to be covered include the safest approach and positioning for handcuffing, handcuffing resistive subjects, removing handcuffs, and the use of various types of cuffs, among others.
 
 
Oleoresin Capsicum Aerosol Training (OCAT) Instructor’s Course         July 15, 2008

The OCAT® program is not brand specific and addresses the proper use of all OC products.
 
PPCI Training, Inc. is the only company in the world providing this invaluable training course. The PPCI instructor staff has many years of law enforcement experience, as well as more than a decade of OCAT® training experience.

Monadnock Expandable Baton (MEB) Instructor’s Course             July 16, 2008
 
PPCI offers a comprehensive one-day MEB Basic Instructor Certification Program. Upon completion of the 8 hour course, a MEB Basic Instructor can train and certify other qualified public and private law enforcement personnel in the 4 hour MEB Basic Course. Today, baton training must be appropriate and reasonable as defined by contemporary community and law enforcement standards. In a phrase, training must be court defensible. The Council's certification programs are appropriate, reasonable, and court defensible.
 
All classes lead to a 4-year instructor’s certification.
