tactics that will enhance any agencys current EYO training program.
As Gordon Graham notes—`if it''s erre,it's preventable.'This course is designed to prevent the
unnecessary injuries that occur all tow frequently.
Current events and relevant supporting material that meet the professional needs of law enforcement
is the foundation for reconstruction. Course topics will include,but not be limited to:
