Service and the Bureau of Land Management. Lectures, laboratory techniques, and practical exercises are oriented toward protection
in a natural resources environment. Included are such subjects as Behavioral Science, Officer Safety and Survival, constitutional

Marine
Law Enforcement Training Program
The Marine Law Enforcement
Training Program provides basic marine law enforcement training for employees of those agencies and organizations involved
in the specialized areas of marine regulation and law enforcement. The major emphasis of this comprehensive training program
is on the safe and proper operation of marine patrol vessels, with specific training in law enforcement operations.
Advanced
Marine Law Enforcement Training Program
The Advanced Marine Law Enforcement
Training Program was developed to meet the identified need for additional specialized training in the operation of fast interceptor
and large patrol vessels. This program includes advanced instruction on the use of electronic navigation equipment such as
RADAR, GPS, DGPS and chart plotters which are installed on these vessels. Through classroom instruction and "hand-on" training
in simulated practical exercises, the students are introduced to the operation, tactics and management for the successful
use of these vessels.
Advanced
Marine Law Enforcement Training Program
Coordination of marine operations
planning, including interagency cooperation and use of air support, is stressed. This program places great emphasis in "hands-on"
underway exercises and minimizes classroom time as much as possible.
