It’s more important than ever to have a thorough understanding of when search warrants are required and how to articulate probable cause. Our expert instructors will teach you vital concepts including when warrants are required, how to articulate probable cause, seizing people near the residence, execution issues, and much more.

With our cutting-edge curriculum, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the legal principles that govern search warrants and how to apply them in real-world scenarios. Courts are increasingly demanding search warrants for intrusions that in the past may have passed muster under “plain view” or “exigent circumstances.” This makes it more important than ever for every officer to be a search warrant expert.

I took the 4-day session including Search & Seizure, Traffic Stops/Searches, Search Warrants, and Interviews & Interrogations, and I honestly was not prepared for how much I had to learn. Being in law enforcement for 10 years and still having so many questions makes me wish I had access to or knew about this training earlier on, however I am grateful that I had the chance to take these courses! The topics are clear and relevant, the instructor (John) was relatable, funny, and extremely knowledgeable, and he was able to answer any outstanding questions I had. I am much more confident in these areas and have a greater understanding of the legal responsibilities I have in this profession and am very grateful that this training is available! VERY highly recommended!
