2012 Marine Officer River Navigation and Techniques
CLASS CANCELLED
Date: CANCELLED
Time: TBA
Locations: Morning of First Day TBD / Remainder of class on the Clearwater and Snake Rivers near Orofino and Lewiston, ID
Overnight Accomodations: Students are responsible for securing their own lodging, meals and other travel costs - no block of rooms is available at any specific hotel
Class Size: Maximum 8 students
Training Description: Idaho Parks and Recreation has been working with a number of Idaho Marine Deputies, Instructors and Supervisors to develop a course on river running, reading and operations for Marine Law Enforcement Officers – i.e. Marine Deputies, Fish and Game Officers, and Forest Service Law Enforcement Officers. The need for a course covering these important issues has been discussed for a number of years in Idaho. This POST approved 3-day, 30-hour course is taught in mid-May on the Clearwater and Snake Rivers near Lewiston. The course consists of 5 hours of classroom instruction, with the balance of the course being taught on the water. The location and time of the year were selected for the different types of water and conditions needed for the course.
The primary objective of this course is to expose Marine Deputies to a variety of moving water-related issues that they are likely to encounter while conducting Marine Patrol, or assisting with Search and Rescue related operations on the many rivers in Idaho. Marine Patrol is inherently dangerous; but when done on moving water, the risks are greatly magnified. Once the students have completed the course, they should have a better understanding of the many hazards that exist while conducting these necessary missions. They should also have a better understanding on how to read, navigate, and manage these hazards. Furthermore, they should have a better understanding of their personal limitations and the limitations of the equipment they are using.
Required Equipment: Appropriate coldwater gear. Dry Suit or Wet Suit, gloves and boots are required. (Limited number of Dry Suits available for loan, Call for availability).
Classroom materials and some catered lunches provided.
