Inland Boat Operation & Marine Patrol Fundamentals Course POST-Certified in Nevada
Game Warden Captain Brady Phillips of the
Nevada Department of Wildlife, Division of Law Enforcement has announced the
Inland Boat Operation and Marine Patrol Fundamentals (IBO-MPF) course is now certified by NV’s Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST). According to NASBLA Deputy Executive Director John Fetterman, “This announcement from Nevada is NEWS Worthy!! It is the first state to have this new program POST certified, a notable accomplishment.”
The Train-the-Trainer component of this course, developed by the NASBLA BOAT program, was introduced earlier this year. To date, NASBLA Train-the-Trainer courses have certified nearly 50 Trainers representing 18 state agencies.
The
IBO-MPF Train-the-Trainer program provides a framework for
consistent training of
inland marine patrol officers nationwide. The operational emphasis of the training encompasses
solo officers in small boats. This NASBLA course is developed to Train the Trainer in core competencies and best practices. The trainer then supplements core course material to include state-specific content and agency requirements. Additional modules can be added by the trainer as needed to address additional state and local issues, needs, and situations.
