If any phase of the training were to be done in a less than serious, professional manner, it could result in a
accident, which additionally could result in serious injury or death. The instructors as well as members of
the class observing the following safety precautions can reduce the risk of this happening:
INSTRUCTOR QUALIFICATIONS: Instructors shall have completed training in a POST Certified
Firearms, Less-Lethal and SIMMS training for instructors. Only certified instructors shall lecture and lead
the class through procedures and techniques.
INSTRUCTOR TO STUDENT RATIO: Instructor to student ratio for the academic portion of this
course will be 2:40. The ratio for any actual practical exercise training will be 4:2. Class size may vary,
but the classes will generally not exceed 40 students.
OFFICER SAFETY: One instructor will be designated as the Primary Range Instructor for each
training class. All Instructors have the responsibility and authority to stop training if any safety hazards
are observed. The course safety regulations and procedures will be read and explained to the class. All
instructors will insure these regulations and procedures are adhered to. Violations of either regulation or
procedure will be dealt with immediately by the observing instructor and/or brought to the attention of the
Primary Range Instructor for possible further action.
MEDICAL PROCEDURES: A first aid kit for treatment of minor injuries shall be immediately
available. Any injury requiring further medical treatment shall be handled in compliance with
departmental and City policy. In the event of a life-threatening emergency, one of the instructor staff will
call 911 to summon EMS and also notify the department by calling Communications at (650) 903-6395.
SUPERVISED ACTIVITIES ONLY: There will be no training conducted other than structured and
