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.

Very knowledgeable instructor. I enjoyed the personal body cam footage showing shared experiences I have had on the road. I have better insight now as to how to handle those situations. I feel the training received today will make me a better patrol and interdiction officer.
