I do. Seems like a no-brainer for a timed test.

I had planned to do my full presentation on the use of force/deadly force and cut the time on other subjects. However, the new DPS course outline just released sets out max/min. times for each of the 4 food groups. It also is pretty detailed as to what they want covered and that combined with the max/min times made it a totally different course than I had planned to give. I had amended my PowerPoint presentation to accommodate the 4 classroom hours, but now I'm going to start from scratch.

Next session we need to repeal the requirement for non-violent dispute resolution so we can spend more time on use of force.

Chas.
I haven't read the course outline in detail (yet), but are those times (and content) "required" or mearly suggestions? I thought the actual course content was left up to the discretion of the instructor as long as the required subjects were covered.

And +1 for dropping NVDR.
Maybe I'm a rebel, but I consider the outline to be a guide until such time as DPS notifies me that I must use it.
