Non-Destructive Entry for Police Personnel MCOLES 302 funding registered

Why use Non-Destructive Entry (NDE)? NDE offers an alternate option to a forced entry. Techniques such as lock picking can allow patrol officers, supervisors, command officers, detectives, surveillance/narcotic officers and special response/SWAT teams a covert and non-destructive entry method. NDE can be appropriate and helpful for welfare checks, community caretaker functions, suspicious circumstances, search warrants, a tactical option, or even a home lockout. Forced entry is the most expensive and least efficient method of entry, and is not always necessary. With forced entry, there are significant costs of repair or replacement of a smashed door, broken lock and split door frame, all of which costs several hundred dollars to well over $1,000, not to mention officer time waiting for board up or repair crews, litigation and loss of goodwill. BASIC COURSE: This 2-day course will introduce participants to the core basics of non-destructive entry, including lock-picking techniques, bumping, and bypass methods over a 2-day course with more than 200 locks. Participants will practice on residential and commercial locks, padlocks, deadbolts, knob locks, lever handled locks, and mortise cylinders. Professional lock picking set/other tools provided. October 19-20, 2015. Cost is $475.00. ADVANCED COURSE: This 2-day course is part two of the training that follows the basic course. Students need to have had the basic course or similar training, and will need to bring their professional pick set from the basic course. Advanced lock picking techniques and bypass are covered, along with less destructive locksmith based entry techniques. There are over 200 locks including tubular locks. Professional tools are provided. October 21-22, 2015. Cost is $475.00.
