Hours: 16
Tuition: $195

Program Information:

This 16 hour informational / tactical application course is designed for all law enforcement; patrol, narcotic, gang, high risk warrant units, swat, bomb technicians and all fire department personnel.  The participants will recognize the elements of clandestine laboratory dangers and hazards, the methods of production of different types of drugs along with improvised apparatus and household chemicals used for synthesizing process.  In addition, the participants will learn what household chemicals and products are used in the manufacturing of booby traps, improvised explosives and detonators deployed by laboratory operators.  Several scientific experiments will be conducted to demonstrate the reaction of household chemical products, and what detrimental health effects they may possibly have on first responder personnel.  Participants will then conduct tactical raids and negotiate through a clandestine laboratory environment.  This exercise is designed to identify the type of laboratory method of production being utilized, and what counter measures to employ to locate improvised booby traps.  This will assist participants in executing a safe and successful raid on the clandestine laboratory environment.

Topics Include:

• Tactical response considerations

• Protocols to follow upon accidental discovery of clandestine laboratory
