The foundational course Street Cop Training was built on.

This career-changing training has been taken by over 10,000 law enforcement officers and has been regarded course ever created for police officers. Humorous, exciting, and extremely valuable, this course is designed to be enjoyed by every division and rank. This program has been deemed so vital for police officers that several agencies have sent all sworn personnel to attend. Some have even added it as a prerequisite to completing their field-training program. This training is not just for the pro-active officer, as it provides essential information all LEO’s must know. Referred to as a “game changer, this is the perfect course for anyone looking to take their policing to the next level, or to polish their existing abilities as an effective police officer. You will feel more confident, re-energized, and gain a renewed sense of purpose.

The course begins with covering case law that police officers need to know. Local and surrounding state’s case law is included. The exposure to this kind of knowledge is a MUST have in today’s modern policing. We can no longer afford to guess what to do next. Society expects a police officer that confidently knows exactly what to do. Reactive or pro-active, officers must know what is constitutionally compliant. This will put an end to common police misconceptions and muster room debates. We supply facts and the binding legal court rulings that support our teachings. The case law portion alone will put the attendee significantly ahead of a majority of officers in their legal know-how. Save yourself the embarrassment, criminal, civil, or internal penalties of making a bad decision.

The course goes beyond case law and into pro-active policing and how to be an effective police officer. The student will be privy to watching strategically edited police videos in a way that breaks down the indicators of criminal behavior. Being able to recognize crime before, during and after it occurs through these constitutionally compliant techniques has allowed our attendees to bring thousands of fugitives to justice, apprehend some of the most heinous offenders, rescue kidnapped children, interrupt and rescued human trafficking victims, stop crimes in progress and solve countless unsolved crimes. Agencies that consider crimes like these to be a too priority will love this course and what it will do for their personnel.

Furthermore, without being aware of the red flags of criminal behavior, police officers, unbeknownst to them, put themselves in significant danger of deadly situations. This training will help the attendee recognize pre-attack indicators. Combined with simple tactical changes that are explained, the likelihood of surviving police work rises expeditiously. Save your life. Save the life of others. This is a course you just can’t afford to miss.
