Description

This course teaches patrol officers and interdictors how to proactively intercept criminal activity through lawful consensual encounters in real-world environments like bus stations, train terminals, hotels, and gas stations. Using real body-worn camera footage, attendees will learn how to initiate contact, recognize factors of criminal activity, and distinguish between normal behavior and those engaged in illicit activity. The course focuses on practical, street-level tactics, legal considerations, and building reasonable suspicion through conversation and observation. Designed for both patrol and specialized units, this training gives officers the confidence to identify and disrupt criminal activity, without relying on the traditional traffic stop.

This class is a good stepping stone for those wishing to get better at consensual encounters and understand it’s easier than you think. Once you have a good fundamental understanding of the lawful way to encounter people you can put your work to good use and see the positive correlation. He provided real world examples and nothing is outdated or dry.
