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 two-day class was developed to address officer responses to Critical Incidents or “Toxic” experiences that have the potential to emotionally cripple officers and to address the “corrosive” or cumulative effects of the job that assault officers every day.
The law enforcement community rewards traits such as physical toughness, independence, emotional restriction, and the ability to react in the face of traumatic events. However, it is unquestionable that police officers and support personnel face specific psychological distress on the job as a result of exposure to toxic and corrosive situations. As a result, many officers suffer from high rates of depression, anxiety, stress, anger management problems, and relationship difficulties. At times, the level of critical incident stress and occupational stress leads to: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Major Depression, Substance Abuse, Alcoholism, and at worst, Suicide. However, by studying and understanding potential emotional and physical reactions to critical incidents and everyday organizational stressors, officers can develop the personal and social resilience to truly survive and grow in the law enforcement professional and their personal lives.

Edged Weapons & Knife Attacks
2022-04-05 08:00 - 12:00, 2022-04-05 13:00 - 17:00 | Flint Township PD, 5200 Norko Drive, Flint Township, MI, 48507, United States
Simple “Common Sense” Techniques
People have been using edged weapons since the beginning of time. They are still around in one form or another. Ever since the terrible events of 9/11, where the hijackers used box cutters, there has been an increased awareness of edged weapons. As recently as 2017, a high-profile terrorist attack occurred at Flint Bishop Airport. The suspect used a 12” knife to severely injure a police officer.
This program addresses the psychological stress of an edged weapon confrontation and how to defend against it using the OODA Loop principle. Students will participate in scenario-based practical exercises. Most people have no idea how to defend against an attack with a sharp object. Most what you see on TV is just enough to get people hurt.
This training addresses two sides of the edged weapons story. First it deals with defending against an attack. The second part explains how to use an edged weapon, if necessary.
Instructor: Lee Shaykhet – is a provider of specialized methods of self-defense. Lee has experience training the former Soviet Army and has provided instruction for law enforcement and military organizations in Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Ohio, Florida and Minnesota, and in Canada. He has trained security and consulting companies, and bodyguards for several high-profile events.

Las Vegas After-Action Review

TRAINING OPPORTUNITY
On October 1, 2017, tragically and unexpectedly, Las Vegas, Nevada, became the stage for the worst mass shooting in modern history to date. That night, more than 22,000 people came together to enjoy a country music festival. On the third and final night of the festival, a lone gunman opened fire into the crowd from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. The gunfire continued for over 10 minutes, resulting in the deaths of 58 innocent concertgoers and the documented injuries of over 850 survivors. With law enforcement closing in, the shooter took his own life.
In the days and months since this horrific crime took place, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) has worked tirelessly to author the after-action review detailing our response to what has become known as “1 October.” This report is a critical, administrative review that details our overall response: preparedness, communication, tactical response, command and control, medical response and resources, crime scene preservation and evidence collection, media response and coverage, training and equipment, and the care of first responders in the aftermath. In addition, this report gives multiple recommendations from lessons learned.*
The Las Vegas Metro Police Department will provide in-depth details on their critical analysis of the tragic event and the response of law enforcement.
Presented by: Las Vegas Metro Police Department, Office of Genesee County Sheriff
