Description
This class gives patrol officers the tools to identify, approach, and detect criminal behavior on everyday calls for service, traffic stops, and street encounters. It’s not a search-and-seizure class, it’s a mindset and skill-building course focused on behavior recognition, target selection, officer safety, and turning observations into solid, winnable cases. Designed for city, county, and state officers looking to be more effective, more confident, and more proactive on the street.
Reviews for this course
Good intro class to interdiction based policing
A lot of useful info, a lot that I didn’t already know and probably wouldn’t have known had I not attended. The use of actual body cam footage through this training was great and I prefer it over dry info slides for an entire training.
This class was helpful to me as a fairly new officer to reinforce the importance of being proactive and helpful tools to proceed in the career
Opened my mind into different ways to be proactive and hunt for crime!
Excellent course, instructor is very engaging, the course information is useful and relevant to today’s policing.
“Take It to the Streets” was one of the best proactive patrol classes I’ve attended. The instructors delivered real-world, street-tested tactics that are immediately applicable on shift. It wasn’t just theory — it was practical, current, and backed by experience. The information on proactive policing strategies, officer safety, and mindset was extremely valuable. Highly recommend this course to anyone serious about sharpening their patrol skills and being more effective in the field.
Very knowledgeable and helpful. If this class doesn’t make you wanna go get the criminals off the streets I don’t know what will.
Great class
Great course and instructor
Good coverage of what to look for in deceptive behavior during interactions with the public. Good use of real world video to show how to apply what is being taught.
Very informative class. Will send additional officers in the future.
Excellent training and information provided by an experienced and knowledgeable instructor.
