When was the last time your officers received updated search and seizure training? The reality is that many officers have had no professional continuing education in this vital area since the academy. Yet, case law changes constantly and civil rights lawsuits are becoming more common, and successful. Your officers need (and want) this training now more than ever.
This training is designed from the ground up for ALL officers. We know from research that students in the academy retain less than 30% of what was taught. In other words, they forgot more search and seizure then they remembered
