Criminal Investigations for Patrol Officers
Locations and dates to be announced soon!
The training is a three day (24 hour) program designed for Patrol Officers, Community Policing Officers, Gang Investigators, Street Crimes Units and new Narcotics Detectives who work in areas with high narcotics activity or who routinely come into contact with narcotics related subjects. Patrol Officers deal with gang members and narcotics subjects on a daily basis, however they seldom receive specialized training for dealing with these individuals. This training will provide a great training base for officers who are motivated to initiate and investigate narcotics and gang related crimes.
Officers will learn about the latest street level narcotics and gang related trends. Street level narcotics activity plagues every city and town in the U.S and must be met head on by Patrol Officers, Crime Supression Units and Narcotics Units. Narcotics traffickers range from subjects who import cocaine, heroin and meth, to the street level dealers who sell the narcotics on our street corners.
Officers will be taught techniques used for obtaining consent searches on vehicles, hotels and residences. Consent search investigations are a great tool that should be utilized every day when dealing with narcotics subjects. Conducting a proper and legal consent search is an art that must be developed through training and hands on experience.
The conference will outline the latest trends in hidden vehicle compartments, which will assist officers during interdiction cases, as well in how to conduct Narcotics Interdiction investigations on the highways. Instructors will present techniques on how to safely identify target characteristics on vehicles and how to properly conduct roadside interviews on suspected narcotics violators. Officer safety techniques are covered in this class and officers will learn the basic steps in how to interpet a suspects demeanor and body actions.
The new trend for gang members is identity theft and credit card fraud. Gang members are utilizing fraud to make huge amounts of cash to purchase guns and large amounts of narcotics. A veteran gang detective will teach officers the proper techniques used to identify fraudulent credit cards and how to conduct investigations utilizing banks and financial institutions.
Officers will learn how to cultivate, document, and handle confidential sources, which will help them investigate criminal narcotics and gang activity occurring in their area. The curriculum will also cover the latest gang trends including the rise of Haitian gangs and the threat of the violent MS 13. This class offers a new and updated learning perspective for both new and veteran officers. The instructors have taught thousands of law enforcement personnel through out the U.S and Europe.
