Constitutional Policing: A Comprehensive Search and Seizure Review
Classification :
Specialized Training
Where :
Hampton Roads Criminal Justice Training Academy
When :
October 29-30, 2019
Description :
Time: 0700-1545
This course will provide a thorough, comprehensive review of the federal constitutional principles critical for effective and lawful field policing endeavors. While the course will recite with clarity, depth and primary focus the Fourth, Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment law of policing, it will also explore foundational non-legal principles necessary for conducting productive officer-citizen contacts such as interpersonal communication skills, ethics, policy considerations, supervision and management roles. Although the instruction will include an engaging and critical lecture component, small group, scenario-based discussions will serve to enhance the learning experience. Common professional misinformation surround the law of policing will be addressed and corrected, thereby enhancing the level of professional policing each officer's community receives. This class will benefit officers in any assignment as well as supervisors and managers.
