This training is geared for field reporters, but we welcome any interested producers or news directors.  Availability is limited, so we ask that you contact Sergeant Rudy Lopez, by July 16, 2012, at 213-486-5900, and confirm your attendance.

Please note that training will occur in areas that may not have smooth pavement and will require some physical assertion for those that participate in training.  Dress in comfortable clothing and shoes, and bring liquids for hydration.
