RADAR/LIDAR Operator Course

This National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) approved course will enable participants to become proficient in the use of both RADAR and LIDAR units as well as average speed calculation methods. Participants will learn the different scientific principles behind these devices and their proper application within the overall speed enforcement program. In addition, we will cover the various aspects of equipment use, daily testing and verification protocols, along with such operational considerations as case law, health issues, and officer safety.

On the 3rd day, participants will report to their agency to work with a certified RADAR LIDAR operator to complete 5 stops showing proficiency with a RADAR unit and 5 stops showing proficiency with a LIDAR unit. A form will be sent to training coordinators to certify completion and submit to MPCTC for the participant to receive their RADAR LIDAR certification card.
