If my county teaches lidar classes...(Ventura County)

does that mean that the county sheriff's department uses lidar?

On this list, it says that the county teaches radar-laser classes....

I haven't run into any laser traps in the cities the Ventura County Sheriff's Department has jurisdiction of...I haven't seen any laser guns, or heard of the county buying any. I don't think other members on here from Ventura County have either...but I know that doesn't mean they don't.

Can anyone chime in?
