Method of Training
The method of training that is taught at Kasseburg Canine Training Center was developed by the German Police School - Landespolizeischule fur Diensthundfuhrer, 1981. The Director of PSP America, Ted Sexton, brought the method we use today into the United States after he attended the training course in Stuckenbrok, Germany. In 1985, PSP America became ACLEOTC and a staff of six police canine officers and trainers from throughout the United States were hired by ACLEOTC to train canines and handlers for the US Department of State's Anti Terrorist Assistance Program. During this time period, the method of training developed and taught through this facility was introduced to domestic and international law enforcement agencies through handler and instructor courses. Upon completion of the State Department in the early 1990's, ACLEOTC was sold to an outside civilian buyer. The majority of the below instructors are still teaching and training law enforcement officers in the methods we enhanced and developed during ACLEOTC beginnings. The training staff at Alabama Canine Law Enforcement Officers Training Center, who developed and taught the PSP method of training throughout the world were: Director Ted Sexton, Chief Instructor Matthew Devaney, Instructor Dewayne Burkhalter, Instructor Jimmy Thornton, Instructor Randy Parker, Instructor Kyle Heyen and Instructor Pam Rogers.
