6 Hours
This course will provide officers with the ability to communicate with each other nonverbally using one-handed signals in police environments and without the suspects hearing anything. This training, based upon the same signs used by the hearing impaired public, will cover basic nonverbal communication techniques using single-hand sign language for use in both police environments or situations where verbal communication is not desirable. Officers will demonstrate the use of hand signals through practical exercises, scenarios, and final assessment. The course begins at 9:00 a.m. and concludes at 4:00 p.m.
