The Department of Justice has prepared a model four-hour curriculum available for use by law enforcement agencies and instructors certified by a national or state organization. This curriculum is not required—instructors may use the national or state organization’s curriculum, or develop their own. However, the model curriculum is ready for use, including a student text, instructor guide, additional instructor resources, and a model training certificate. (Note: DOJ-certified instructors are required to teach this curriculum.)
