Students will also conduct a “High Risk Entry” boarding and search of a 494' break-bulk freighter. This program was designed for Military, Federal, State and Local Law Enforcement Officers, and Port Authority Personnel who board and search commercial vessels.

****I was also wondering if anyone has attended the course and what feedback you have. If anyone is interested, please PM me and I will forward the information. As the course has a specific audience, I did not want to put all the class description, instructors etc.....

Just about anything FLETC does, that I have been too, has been top notch. Their state and local program does wonders for getting street cops into the training that they'd otherwise have to wait a lifetime for on departmental budgets.

Any new information on this for future training? I'd be very interested to know more.

I would be interested also. What kind of pre-reqs are there for this type of training? I am sure Joe-Blow off the street couldn't get into this.
