-Endorsement of a school director.
-Must be Radar Operator.
Attendance requirements
-100% of the minimum instructional hours.
-The School Director may deny certification to any student that is habitually tardy to, or
regularly departs early from, scheduled class and/or training exercises.
Successful course completion

LIDAR instrument(s).
-Score a minimum of 70% on a written test.
-Lidar certification run concurrently with your existing Radar certification and will be valid
for 3 years
-May use Lidar when you receive your certificate
Enrollment requirements recert
Only difference is must be already Lidar certified
Successful course completion recert
Only difference is must score 75% on written test
LIDAR is only a _________________________?
Tool
YOU must first develop your own opinion to ?
speed, observe the tracking history, and ensure no interference was present during the
measurement!
Overall Course Goal
-To improve the effectiveness of speed enforcement through the proper and efficient
use of LIDAR speed measuring instruments.
-Research shows excessive speed is a major reason for crashes
-Also increases the severity of the crash
-Basic goal of police work is to protect lives and property
What are course topics discussed in manual?
-Basic principles of LIDAR speed measurement
-Legal and operational considerations
-Familiarization and Operation of specific LIDAR instruments
-Courtroom Preparation
-Motor-Skill Performance Testing
-Course Review and Written Examination
, Lidar, similar to Radar, it must be on the _______________, approved by the
Commission and Department of Public Safety.
IACP Consumer Products List
__________ is the target in almost all successful Lidar challenges.
Human error
The word "LIDAR" is an acronym that stands for:
LIght
Detection
And
Ranging
LASER is another acronym that stands for:
Light
Amplification by
Stimulated
Emission of
Radiation
_______ uses a semi-conductor type laser
Traffic Lidar
Electronics ramp up battery power to high voltage that drives a laser diode. The
diode emits infrared laser pulses about every five milliseconds. (What happens
when I pull the trigger) when does this happen?
1st
Filters receive pulses reflecting off a target object and focus them onto an
avalanche diode, which converts them to electronic signals.(What happens when
I pull the trigger) when does this happen?
2nd
High-speed timing circuitry tracks the time it takes for a pulse to reflect and
return from the target, commonly referred to as the "time-of-flight," and
algorithms use the data to determine the object's distance.(What happens when I
pull the trigger) when does this happen?
3rd
High-speed timing circuitry tracks the time it takes for a pulse to reflect and
return from the target, commonly referred to as the
time-of-flight
The algorithms calculate distance multiple times per second for subsequent
pulses and then compute velocity by dividing the change in distance by the
change in time.(What happens when I pull the trigger) when does this happen?
4th
Does not use the ?
frequency change (Doppler Shift) principle
Uses a time of flight method to get _______
target speed
When trigger is pulled what happens?
Transmits dozens of laser light pulses per second
The timer is started, then when _________, the timer is stopped
reflected pulse returns
