This dynamic and immersive training will focus on sovereign citizens and their rapidly increasing problematic contact with all forms of government, with a specific focus on interactions with law enforcement and criminal justice personnel. Basic awareness of this growing threat and how it will directly impact the daily duties and responsibilities of law enforcement and other government entities will be discussed at length. Attendees should expect a general “indoctrination” into the sovereign citizen movement to help further awareness, recognition and mitigation of this unconventional and bothersome problem.

—————————————————–

Additionally, a significant portion of training will cover First Amendment Auditors, their goals and tactics, and best practices when encountered by law enforcement and other government officials.

Topics covered and course focus:

• Learn the fundamental principles of the sovereign citizen movement, including ideological beliefs, pillars, doctrines, tactics, and goals
• Identify sovereign indicators through language identification and document recognition
• Paper Terrorism through false liens and lawsuits
• Courtroom behavior/tactics
• Attendees will be taught to recognize common militia ideology, activity, tactics and symbology
• Boogaloo and III% ideologies
• Anti-government views pertaining to gun rights, land rights, and government mandates
• Who are Auditors and what do they want?

This 1 day, dynamic, interactive training will prepare police officers to not only survive, but thrive in the courtroom, even from a barrage of cross exam questions from the toughest of defense attorneys.  Participants in this class will learn all the tricks of the defense attorney trade, how to overcome them, and become the most effective, persuasive, and important player in the courtroom.

Reviews of this class have been overwhelmingly positive.  It is an exceptionally positive experience, taught by an instructor with 30 years of courtroom experience.  It is fun, practical, and exceedingly helpful.  Learn all the things you were never taught in the police academy about winning convictions and making them stick!  You will participate in mock trials, watch videos of other officer’s testimony, and learn how to do it right!  If you’ve ever had a bad courtroom experience, are new, or simply need to gain some confidence, take this course!

This is a full 1 day course, consisting of 3 parts.  The first part consists of a mock trial, where participants review police reports and actually testify in both direct and cross exam.  Attendees will alternate between playing the roles of witness, juror, and audience.  Everyone will participate throughout the morning, and opportunities for frequent feedback will be given.  Cross exam will be challenging and demonstrate the most common defense techniques utilized to “trap” police officers and make them look bad.  Experience has shown that this part of the course, utilizing audience participation and feedback, is most appreciated and fun.  The second part consists of a lecture identifying all important aspects of effective police officer testimony, identifying both the key factors to focus on, as well as what to avoid. Topics include:

*Better Report writing                                                                                    *Preparation

*Courtroom demeanor, body language and other intangibles              *Anticipating the cross exam

*Avoiding common defense traps                                                               *Persuasion techniques

*Common problems and areas for police officer testimony                   *Projecting confidence

*Examples from real trials and real police reports

Part three is a compilation of videos from actual trials.  Attendees can see the techniques discussed throughout the day exhibited in real, live trial testimony from other police officers.  The videos demonstrate and reinforce the principles that have been discussed throughout the day in an authentic setting and bring it all home.

This program is part of the Crime Prevention Specialist Series.  Each program in the series is a standalone seminar.  Participants that complete all seminars in the series will be granted a Crime Prevention Specialist Certificate.

This one-day overview will provide attendees with the basic concepts and principles of Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED). Participants will learn how CPTED can be applied to provide useful risk assessments and security surveys in all segments of our community.  These concepts are extremely useful for patrol officers and investigators in providing preventive recommendations to community groups or individuals as well as crime victims and complainants.

CPTED examines the existing environment and its use and how those can be enhanced to improve the quality of life for residents, ultimately reducing the fear and actual incidents of crime.
