CRT LESS LETHAL TRAINING COURSES
CRT Less Lethal, Inc. has trained law enforcement agencies and scientific groups all over the United States and abroad including the United Kingdom, Canada, Belgium and the Netherlands.
CRT LL offers training that focuses on key issues to maximize results and limit liability to individuals and departments. Utilizing our experience from expert witness work, case reconstruction, and scientific experiments , we design programs for departments of any size in the area of less lethal deployment. We establish programs that not only address the use of these tools, but also policy and procedure considerations, report writing, evidence collection, forensic considerations, wound profiling and courtroom testimony.
“From the Box to Courtroom” Course
This course combines the two courses below into a one day premier TASER Forensics and Excited Delirium course with the purpose of increasing the effectiveness while reducing risk and liability of a department’s less lethal program.
TASER probe knotStudents will be exposed to current issues, trends, proper use of force documentation, and forensic techniques involving these devices that were developed by members of CRT Less Lethal beginning in 2001. We will also outline response protocols that have demonstrated to be successful when confronting subjects with Excited Delirium Syndrome.
