OUT-OF-STATE TRAVEL
– SHERIFF JENSEN
Sheriff Jensen
asked for permission to send Troy Pilivi to Clandestine Laboratory
Investigations training March 7-18 in Rancho Cordova, California. Sheriff
Jensen said the eight-day intensive course is designed to provide a student
with the information and direction needed to safely enter a clandestine
laboratory or other hazardous environment and effectively process the scene for
successful investigation and prosecution of the laboratory.
Dave Murphy,
Detective Sergeant, said the federal government would reimburse the
course. He said the Drug Enforcement
Agency is pulling back from doing the entries into the labs, and it is falling
more and more on the individuals. The
guys must have training in order to enter the site safely and get no exposure
to the surrounding chemicals. He said they also would receive a self-contained
breathing apparatus and suit.
