The foundational course Street Cop Training was built on. This course was originally a 2-day course, and is now a longer one-­day course. This was done to make the training easier for students to attend and logistically easy for command staff to coordinate. Enrolling and committing to these 10 hours of training will literally change your life and career. Taken by over 15,000 law enforcement officers, it has been regarded as the best course ever created for police officers. We have collected 20 years’ worth of information and fine-tuned it to create a training experience like no other. Humorous, exciting, and extremely valuable, this course is designed to be enjoyed by every division and every rank. We start by explaining the case law every cop needs to know, specific to the hosting state and surrounding states. 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. Re-Active or Pro-Active, officers must know how to behave in a manner that is constitutionally compliant. The course is taught in a manner that not only gives the student comprehensive understanding, but also raises their confidence. This will put an end to common police misconceptions and muster room debates. We only teach THE FACTS and provide legal citation and reference for where those facts came from. We make sure that every student is trained and versed in their state specific laws. A big misconception is that we only teach the state law in which we teach. That isn’t true. The case law portion of this class only accounts for about 20% of the total program, making it very easy for us to teach in a universal manner.

The student will be privy to watching strategically edited police videos in a way that breaks down the indicators of criminal behavior. It is extremely dangerous for police officers to be in the presence of criminal activity without even being aware of it. Save yourself from embarrassment. Save your life. Save the life of another. This is the perfect course for anyone looking to take their policing to the next level or looking to polish your existing abilities as an effective police officer. This course has been deemed so vital for police officers that several agencies have sent all of their sworn personnel to attend. Some have even added it as a pre-requisite to completing their field-training program.

Broadly covered topics will include; identity deception/uncovering the truth; reactions to police presence when engaged in criminal conduct; key phrases of deception; body language and nervous behavior; distinguishing illegal police conduct from legal police conduct; current crime trends; motor vehicle law that you should know; exposure to hidden compartments/hides; and Officer Safety/Tactics that will save your life. Previous attendees have reported back to us with great results far beyond what we ever expected this training to accomplish. Our students have stopped a broad range of crimes from being committed. They have also apprehended some of the most dangerous criminals in the country. This is career changing training. Audacious to say in a training announcement, but true. The results speak for themselves. We are providing police officers with the training they need and deserve.
