IMPAIRED ARTICULATION - Vol. #103      There are few areas of policing where doing the right thing at the right time for the right reason is more important than in the handling of an impaired driving charge.      “Impaired: Articulation” follows an impaired driving case in detail from start to finish, from the initial reasons for the traffic stop, reasonable grounds to the all-important articulation in court.      NOTE to Facilitators: Two versions of the scenario are available on this interactive disc. “Scenario Only” and a blended “Scenario with Courtroom Articulation”

EXCITED DELIRIUM - Vol. #102      Superhuman strength. Complete pain tolerance. Bizarre, aggresive behavior. These symptoms may indicate a suspect is suffering from a condition known as “Excited Delirium”.      Usually brought on by drug overdose or mental disorder, this acute state is a medical emergency that can progress rapidly to cardiopulmonary arrest and death.      This video highlights the importance of appropriate police intervention, effective restraint techniques that do not compromise respiration, and immediate medical treatment.

TIERED RESPONSE: FIRE SCENES - Vol. #101      The simultaneous dispatch of police, fire and EMS to a scene is an everyday occurrence. Whether it's a motor vehicle collision, a structure fire or a medical emergency, there is always the potential for injuries or fatalities...and no one agency can handle the call by themselves. It's not enough to understand your own role - you must also understand the responsibilities of the other responding agencies.      "Tiered Response" examines the importance of communication, cooperation and coordination in reducing the risk for confusions and working within a clear command structure. Aimed primarily at the police community, this video highlights the do's and don'ts at fire and MVC scenes. The DVD-ROM section of this disc also features a stand-alone training program provided by the Joint Emergency Services Operational Advisory Group (JESOAG).

PLASTIC ATTACK - Vol. #100      Canadians rely on the use of debit and credit cards for everyday transactions more than any other country in the world. But as the use of plastic has risen, so has the incidence of scams and frauds. With the requisite hardware and methodologies, often only a mouse click away, it’s difficult to keep pace with the bad guys. That’s where the role of the knowledgeable, observant front line officer cannot be overstated.      As an update to the 2002 OPVTA release dealing with debit and credit card fraud, “Plastic Attack” examines the latest criminal technologies, trends, behaviours and tip-offs that should get your attention and trigger a closer look. Officers are also provided with insights as to appropriate charges and where to turn for help.
