Description

Through an in-depth review of current federal and New Jersey case law, officers will examine the constitutional standards governing investigative detentions, motor vehicle stops, extending traffic stops, developing reasonable suspicion and probable cause, vehicle searches, and the lawful arrest of vehicle occupants. The course emphasizes how courts evaluate officer decision-making and highlights best practices that withstand judicial scrutiny.

Using real-world scenarios, body-worn camera footage, and interactive discussions, officers will learn to recognize behavioral indicators associated with criminal activity, identify articulable facts that support investigative actions, and avoid common legal pitfalls that can jeopardize prosecutions. Officers will also review the legal requirements for administering Miranda warnings during roadside encounters and explore strategies for effectively utilizing body-worn cameras to document observations, strengthen investigations, and enhance courtroom testimony.
