The PC 832 Arrest Course is a 40-hour training program covering legal aspects of arrest, search and seizure, use of force, and other critical law enforcement skills.
The PC 832 Firearms Course, which is 24 hours, focuses on the safe handling of firearms, marksmanship, and when to use firearms legally in the line of duty.
The PC 832 Arrest Course covers topics such as laws of arrest, search and seizure, and handcuffing techniques, but it does not include tactical driving skills, which are typically covered in more advanced law enforcement training.
The use of force training teaches officers how to apply reasonable force during an arrest based on the legal standards of proportionality and necessity. The goal is to ensure the officer uses only the amount of force necessary to safely control a situation.
To complete the Firearms Course, participants must demonstrate proficiency in marksmanship, typically through a live shooting qualification where they are required to meet a certain accuracy standard.
