The days of
Police Officers relying on “what we’ve heard” and “we’ve always
done it that way” are over! Police Officers must know what the
courts have deemed acceptable procedure in order to perform their
duties in a constitutionally compliant manner in today’s modern
policing. Knowledge of Case Law is the foundation to empower
Police Officers to perform their jobs confidently and legally. This
course will examine, review, and explain significant U.S. Supreme
Court and State Specific Case Law.. The goal of this course is to
demonstrate how these cases affect how Police Officers must
perform their duties to avoid evidence exclusion, increase
convictions, and reduce civil liability. This course breaks down the
complex issues associated with case law and presents them in an
easy to understand format for Police Officers to use in the field to
achieve their investigative goals.
