Description : :

In anticipation of the 2008 Republican National Convention (RNC), members of the St. Paul and Minneapolis Police Departments engaged in weeks of intense Bicycle Response Team Training. Nearly 120 officers were trained in escort, blocking, diversionary, and dispersal techniques to enable them to manage and control the expected crowds. This course, developed and conducted by members of the interagency RNC BRT, will prepare you to integrate bike officers into a variety of crowd situations. Topics include: Incident Command and Communications, Crowd Tactics, Crowd Demeanor Levels, Precursors to Violence, Professionalism and Discipline, Tactics for Crowd Management and Control, and Formations and Transitions. Practical exercises involve slow speed drills, mounts and dismounts, mounted formations and deployment, pair riding in crowds, single- and double-column riding and transitioning, arrest/rescue techniques, squad withdrawal, and gas mask drills. In addition to providing classroom instruction and hands-on practice, instructors will provide a behind-the-scenes look at the preparations for this large-scale event and share real-world stories and lessons learned throughout the four days of the convention.
Prerequisites: Current IPMBA membership, IPMBA Police Cyclist Certification or equivalent; open to fully-commissioned law enforcement officers with arrest powers only.
Course Length: 24 hours
Required Equipment: Download BRTT Equipment List [.pdf 40K].
Testing Procedure: on-bike
