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.

This course will definitely benefit myself and the community I work in.
Blake is very knowledgeable about proactive policing and is very good at explaining how he gets results and how to improve as a proactive officer.
Blake was awesome. Most classes I’ve had in law enforcement have been taught by instructors that have been retired or moved to admin. The things blake taught about he still does and still has a passion for and it shows. Highly recommend
The Pro Active Patrol class given by Mr. Richardson was an awesome class. Highly recommended.
