Undercover Techniques and Survival for Women

August 30 - September 3, 2010

Des Moines, IA

A FREE Five Day Training Program 

A five day (36 hours) training program designed for female law enforcement officers who intend to or routinely participate in covert undercover operations.

Officers who participate in covert operations are not born with the talents needed to perform effectively and safely in undercover situations. These talents are developed from experience, hard work and training. When working undercover, female police officers face situations and problems unique to their gender. This program will provide the students with the techniques and survival tactics necessary to compliment their present undercover experience. Many times this can make the difference between success or failure and safety or injury.

Managers who supervise female undercover officers need to be aware of the significant differences these officers face while working undercover. These differences can have significant psychological and physical dangers attached.

This program is free and if you live 50 miles or more outside Des Moines, IA, lodging and meals are also provided free of charge !!!!!!

This class is limited to 60 students, so register early to insure your attendance.
