The Tactical Analysis Program “Tactical Awareness and Threat Recognition” JJC, Weitendorf Agricultural Education Center

17840 Laraway Rd, Joliet, IL 60433 Tuesday & Wednesday, June 9 & 10, 2015

8:00 am till 4:00 pm GPS alert: use 1151 East Laraway Road 60433, neighbor of Ag. Center

Course Description: The Tactical Analysis program offered by The CP Journal provides training to the defense, law enforcement and security industries in behavioral pattern recognition and analysis. Developing the ability to observe, classify, assess and communicate nonverbal behavior empowers our nation’s protectors to proactively recognize potential threats before an attack occurs. The observation process taught in the program improves both intuitive decision-making and the deliberate analysis of situations, persons, and the environment. The “Tactical Awareness and Threat Recognition” portion of the course provides instruction in the foundational behavioral observations used to make assessments about individual people. The course is focused on ensuring that students can accurately assign people to each of the four mutually exclusive primary clusters of behavior. Once officers have proven that they can make these observations, articulate the reason for objectively assigning a person to each cluster, and understand the “why” behind the assessments, these behaviors are then put into the context of the “officer-ambush” to determine the significance of each behavior in relation to the risks that police officers face.

The “Tactical Sense-making” portion of the course expands on the behaviors taught on the first day to include all four pillars of observable behaviors. Officers learn how to establish an all-encompassing baseline for the areas the law enforcement professionals are expected to operate in using a deliberate, systematic and repeatable process.

Instructor: Patrick Van Horne; Founded security-consulting company (The CP Journal) to provide training in behavioral analysis to the military, law enforcement, and private security industries. Designed, developed and implemented unique behavioral training programs for threat recognition, risk management and advanced questioning. A former Marine Officer, Patrick led 350 Marines through a yearlong combat training and preparation program prior to their deployment. Designed long-term training plan for cross-functional teams from 9 diverse technical areas. He also led 40 Marines and served as Second-in-Command for 200 Marines through two deployments to Iraq. Coordinated all intelligence, operational, logistics, communication and training requirements across units.

Rapid Medical Response 5 “Self-aid/Buddy-aid” Plainfield Police Department

14300 S. Coil Plus Drive, Plainfield, IL 60544 Thursday, June 25, 2015


Course Description: Patrol officers are at greater risk than ever before due to escalating violence, better

trained terrorists, and offenders who have military or paramilitary style training. The ever increasing intent of these criminal elements is to kill first responders in military type ambushes and wreak havoc in urban environments. Our medical and police first responders are not adequately trained or equipped to deal with the critical moments during these horrific events. Paramedics are not allowed into combat zones while shooting is still occurring. The police, therefore, are on their own to treat themselves and others for wounds sustained during a response to multiple shooters. Consequently, this workshop incorporates military style responses to active shooters with combat medical support that parallels the tactics required. This workshop familiarizes patrol officers with the basic uses of the Israeli bandage and other methods of emergency self-medical care during active shooting incidents or terrorist attacks. The workshop features use of combat tourniquets and pressure dressings similar to those used by the U. S Military in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Course Summary: This 1-day course provides officers with the skills to provide life-saving self-aid/buddy-aid (SA/BA) in the event of serious injury. What differentiates this training from a standard first-aid course is the focus on providing proven tactical medical concepts in an austere and hostile patrol environment. During the morning session, officers will receive lecture and practical instruction in the core concepts SA/BA; airway/breathing, bleeding control/shock, assessment, high-threat evacuation. In the afternoon, officers will participate in multiple law enforcement based scenarios. These scenarios allow each officer to apply the SA/BA concepts learned in a dynamic patrol based setting.

Mental/Physical Response to Trauma Airway/Breathing Management Bleeding Control/Shock Management Rapid Casualty Evaluation High-Threat Casualty Evacuation Hands-On/Practical Training Scenario Training

Instructors: Are supplied by, Professional Tactical EMS Consulting, Inc. (PROTEC). PROTEC specializes in

providing tactical EMS consulting/contracting services and medical training to law enforcement agencies.

40 Hour Rifle/Carbine Instructor Course JJC, Weitendorf Agricultural Center; 17840 W. Laraway Rd, Joliet, IL 60433


&

Will County Sheriff’s Range & Training Facility 2402 Laraway Rd., Joliet, IL 60433

(Marseilles National Guard Range will be utilized for July 17, starting mid-morning)

Monday - Friday, July 13 - 17, 2015 1:30 pm to 9:30 pm

(Class will begin at the JJC Ag. Center each afternoon)

Course Description: This course was developed to assist experienced firearms instructors in training their department’s patrol specialists in the use of the rifle/carbine. Through proper training and selection of equipment, police departments can utilize versatile police carbine/rifles to respond to immediate threats to life, which in the past required specialized units such as SWAT. Disturbing national trends indicate that offenders are relying on more advanced weaponry and firepower, leaving first responders overmatched and our communities increasingly vulnerable to threats to life and property. By having officers trained in the use of more accurate and powerful weaponry than standard police firearms, properly trained officers will have the skills, aptitudes, and training experience to respond to these violent calls. Many departments are acquiring rifle/carbines through commercial sources and the federal government is providing military M-16A1 rifles to local departments through the LESO 10-33 program. Rifle/carbine training will cover the following: COLT AR-15.223/5.56 m/m caliber, COLT CAR-15.223 or similar AR-15/M-16 type rifle/carbine systems.

Rapid Medical Response 5 “Self-aid/Buddy-aid” (SA/BA) Kankakee County Sheriff's Office

3000 S. Justice Way, Kankakee, IL 60901 Tuesday, August 25, 2015


Course Description: Patrol officers are at greater risk than ever before due to escalating violence, better trained terrorists, and offenders who have military or paramilitary style training. The ever increasing intent of these criminal elements is to kill first responders in military type ambushes and wreak havoc in urban environments. Our medical and police first responders are not adequately trained or equipped to deal with the critical moments during these horrific events. Paramedics are not allowed into combat zones while shooting is still occurring. The police, therefore, are on their own to treat themselves and others for wounds sustained during a response to multiple shooters. Consequently, this workshop incorporates military style responses to active shooters with combat medical support that parallels the tactics required. This workshop familiarizes patrol officers with the basic uses of the Israeli bandage and other methods of emergency self-medical care during active shooting incidents or terrorist attacks. The workshop features use of combat tourniquets and pressure dressings similar to those used by the U. S Military in Iraq and Afghanistan. Course Summary: This 1-day course provides officers with the skills to provide life-saving self-aid/buddy-aid (SA/BA) in the event of serious injury. What differentiates this training from a standard first-aid course is the focus on providing proven tactical medical concepts in an austere and hostile patrol environment. During the morning session, officers will receive lecture and practical instruction in the core concepts SA/BA; airway/breathing, bleeding control/shock, assessment, high-threat evacuation. In the afternoon, officers will participate in multiple law enforcement based scenarios. These scenarios allow each officer to apply the SA/BA concepts learned in a dynamic patrol based setting.

The Tactical Analysis Program “Tactical Awareness and Threat Recognition”

Plainfield Police Department 14300 Coil Plus Drive; Plainfield, IL 60544

Tuesday & Wednesday, October 6 & 7, 2015 8:00 am till 4:00 pm

Course Description: The Tactical Analysis program offered by The CP Journal provides training to the defense, law enforcement and security industries in behavioral pattern recognition and analysis. Developing the ability to observe, classify, assess and communicate nonverbal behavior empowers our nation’s protectors to proactively recognize potential threats before an attack occurs. The observation process taught in the program improves both intuitive decision-making and the deliberate analysis of situations, persons, and the environment. The “Tactical Awareness and Threat Recognition” portion of the course provides instruction in the foundational behavioral observations used to make assessments about individual people. The course is focused on ensuring that students can accurately assign people to each of the four mutually exclusive primary clusters of behavior. Once officers have proven that they can make these observations, articulate the reason for objectively assigning a person to each cluster, and understand the “why” behind the assessments, these behaviors are then put into the context of the “officer-ambush” to determine the significance of each behavior in relation to the risks that police officers face. The “Tactical Sense-making” portion of the course expands on the behaviors taught on the first day to include all four pillars of observable behaviors. Officers learn how to establish an all-encompassing baseline for the areas the law enforcement professionals are expected to operate in using a deliberate, systematic and repeatable process. Instructor: Patrick Van Horne; Founded security-consulting company (The CP Journal) to provide training in behavioral analysis to the military, law enforcement, and private security industries. Designed, developed and implemented unique behavioral training programs for threat recognition, risk management and advanced questioning. A former Marine Officer, Patrick led 350 Marines through a yearlong combat training and preparation program prior to their deployment. Designed long-term training plan for cross-functional teams from 9 diverse technical areas. He also led 40 Marines and served as Second-in-Command for 200 Marines through two deployments to Iraq.
