SUMMARY:Virtual Training to Protect the Pedestrian Officer (In-Person)
DESCRIPTION:Course Description:\nThis course was developed with support from the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety (DHTS). Hosted by Rutgers Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Transportation (CAIT)\, this full-day course explores ways to protecting the pedestrian officer including virtual reality training. \nEach year numerous police officers and other first responders are killed or seriously injured in motor vehicle-related incidents on our highways. In the last decade these types of incidents have accounted for approximately 33% of all law enforcement line-of-duty deaths.  Of all the hazardous situations an officer may encounter in the performance of their duties\, this course will focus on the category of the pedestrian officer and the danger of being struck by a motor vehicle or flying debris while working along the roadway. \nThe presenter\, Sergeant Robert Bemis\, who retired from the Pennsylvania State Police Academy as the Supervisor of the Operational Training Division\, has over 30 years of law enforcement experience. He will outline his personal challenge of being stuck-by a vehicle while rendering aid to a motorist which left him critically injured.   After listening to his life-altering personal story\, participants will have an appreciation and understanding as to why Sgt. Bemis is passionate about Officer Safety and the countermeasures critical to avoiding such incidences. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nIdentify three ways to protect yourself as a pedestrian\nList two pieces of equipment that increase police pedestrian safety\nName two advantages to virtual reality training\n\nIntended Audience:\nLaw enforcement personnel \nPrerequisites:  \nBe employed as a full-time law enforcement officer in New Jersey \nCredits:\nNone \nInstructor:\nSgt. Robert Bemis\, Retired Pennsylvania State Police \nSponsor:\nThis workshop is sponsored by the Division of Highway Traffic Safety \nUniversity Smoking Policy:\nRutgers University is dedicated to ensuring a safe and healthy environment for students\, staff\, visitors\, and guests.
