   Attention all Chiefs, Sheriffs, & Training Officers



   Lost  time  from  injuries  is money wasted, injuries result from poor
   training,  or  non  training, is money wasted, and it puts a strain on
   everyone's budget.  Ten years ago Officers were not facing the violent
   criminals  they  are  now,  and  it's  expected  to  increase with the
   escalating  number  of drug users. Search's for children, elderly, and
   escapees, were rare and not often in an Officers career.



   Please  review the following information about our 9th training annual
   conference held in Waco every year.

   Four areas are as follows:



   1.Mounted  Patrol  for  Officers,  and  LECAMP  Units (Law Enforcement
   Civilian  Assisted  Mounted  Patrol  &  Mounted  SAR Teams (Search and
   rescue):  Tactical  arrest  procedures  from horseback, crowd control,
   vehicle  extraction.    We have the only eight thousand-pound obstacle
   course  ever  built  in  the  United  States for horses. Along with an
   impressive  arsenal  of  various  bombs  and  fireworks  used  in this
   training. Taught by the best-mounted Officers in the state.



   2.Hand to Hand Training: Using a combination of martial arts, that the
   average  non  steroid using normal Officer, could learn in 16 hours to
   protect himself from injury, and effectively do his job with less time
   off from and still be camera friendly for the court room.



   3. Man tracking for search &rescue, felony search's, elderly searches:
   Effective  search's  versus body recovery. If you have any search that
   wasn't  effective  we  strongly advise you send Officers to learn this
   forgotten art by the best in the state.



   4.Wilderness  Medicine  for  search & rescue teams and Officers in the
   field:  Who  is  usually  first  on the scene? This is the reason more
   depts.  are  receiving  medical  training for their Officers, the life
   saved  could  be  one of your men, or your elderly parent, as Officers
   usually arrive first on an accident scene, or trauma scene.



   All  units  that  join  our  organization  will share our data base of
   information  on,  how  to  get  corporate grants, SOPs, blueprints for
   course  building  for horses, hand books written by us on every aspect
   of horse training for the mounted police horse, desensitization etc.

   Instructors  are  senior  tracking  Agent Alex Hernandez, An effective
   search  with a rescue or a body recovery is determined by the level of
   training  any  dept. has taken advantage of. If you want qualified man
   tracking  as part of your unit, whether it is on foot or on horseback,
   then  you  need to send Officers, jailers, search and rescue personnel
   to  this  training.  The two day seminar, developed and taught by  the
   only  professional  trackers who make their living tracking every day,
   Dogs  only  have  a  40  percent  success rate according to the United
   States  Border patrol training information training handouts, compared
   to men who can track from 500 feet up in a helicopter.
   If  you  would like for your next search to be successful one versus a
   body  recovery  then  you  need  to  have your dept. send at least two
   potential  trackers.  We  have  taught civilians, professional people,
   game  wardens,  Officers,  and  Posse  members how to track with these
   instructors.  Method, tested and proven effective by Search and Rescue
   Teams and Law Enforcement Agencies in searches for lost victims and in
   pursuit  of  felons.  Used  as  a  technique  to  track people lost in
   suburban,  rural,  and  wilderness areas it is especially effective in
   finding lost children who hide from searchers out of fear. Look on the

   diverse  suspects.  If  you  would  like  to see less injuries in your
   dept.,  from arrest and take downs, then this class is a must for your
   Officers. Take from some one who has spent their life training in hand
   to hand everyday, in order to be the best instructor in this important

   Why we do what we do:
   TUMPOT  saw  this  need  for better training in four areas eight years
   ago,  and  set  about  finding  the  best  in each area that a deficit
   existed  in  training,  and established collaborative efforts with the
   very  best  professional  in  each  field. We then drew up contractual
   agreements, and set about changing this error quietly in our corner of
   the world, Texas.



   Who TUMPOT is:
   TUMPOT's  governing board is made of eleven directors who are entirely
   volunteer's  of Peace Officers from Depts. all over Texas and business
   people. We do what we do, strictly for the betterment of assisting law
   enforcement  in  these  four  areas, not for money. No other entity in
   Texas does what we do as a non-profit, nor has the staff of experts we
   do.  If  we  had  to  pay every trainers benefits package, we couldn't
   either. That's what makes us so unique and able to offer what we do at
   a price you can afford.



   TUMPOT's Goal:
   Our  goal is to bring the best of training in four areas to all depts.
   in  Texas  at  a  minimal  cost.  If we can train your Officers, Posse
   members, Probation Officers, Search & Rescue Teams at a cost that your
   people can afford, if they need to pay from their pockets. If one life
   is saved by this training, then we have accomplished our mission.
