Thank you for your interest in the IACP Project Safe Neighborhoods Characteristics of Armed Persons course. This training will be offered on Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at the Buffalo Grove Community Arts Center (225 McHenry Rd Buffalo Grove, IL 60089) from 8:30 AM -12:30 PM. Training is restricted to sworn law enforcement only. Following the Characteristics of Armed Persons course law enforcement will walk away with tips on making observations of an individual’s bodily movement, clothing behaviors, stop and frisks, crime gun recovery, keen observations during traffic stops, report writing and testimony for successful prosecution. This program is specifically designed for uniformed police officers/agents, as well as other line officers. This course includes detailed instruction on identifying characteristics of persons who carry concealed firearms, legal issues regarding stop and frisk, and articulating probable cause for searches. It will also address how participants, between ATF, state, and local police departments can impact gun violence on our streets. Below are some questions we are asking to see the baseline knowledge for those attending the trainings. For inquiries, please contact Courtney E. Mariette, IACP PSN Project Manager at mariette@theiacp.org.
