Every year, impaired drivers cause thousands of traffic deaths and injuries. Law enforcement
officers play a leading role in getting these drivers off our nation's roads and must be skilled
in detecting impaired drivers, administering Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFST's),
describing events through written reports, and giving persuasive testimony. This 24 hour
course teaches participants those skills through classroom instruction which includes the
viewing of National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and International
Association of Police Chiefs (IACP) approved videos which assess a subject's impairment
and record observations of SFST performance.
Please note that this course was entitled "Field Sobriety Testing: Horizontal Gaze
Nystagmus" in previous NEMRT catalogs. Also, it does not incorporate the use of live
drinkers.
This program has been submitted for funding through the Illinois Department of
Transportation and the Police Traffic Services Project. If approved, tuition for this program
will be waived. NEMRT reserves the right to structure the class in accordance with IDOT
grant conditions.
This course will be taught by: Sgt. Bruce Talbot, Woodridge Police Department (Retired).
This two day program is designed for officers involved in homicide, suicide, and death
investigations. Examinations of death scenes and the facilities of the Robert J. Stein Forensic
Institute will be explored. Course topics include:
- Suspicious deaths
- Crime scene protection
- Suicides v Homicides: recognizing differences
- Autoerotic cases
- Wound analysis
- Disaster response recovery and identification
- The use of D.N.A. in identification
- Rules of evidence
Forensic odontology will also be briefly reviewed during this program.
