2024-12-05 08:30 - 16:30 (America/Detroit) | Flint Township PD, 5200 Norko Drive, Flint Township, MI, 48507, United States
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.

Edged Weapons & Knife Attacks

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.

Strategies and Tactics for New Supervisors
Failure to train new supervisors to properly lead, manage, and run the day-to-day operations of the agency is one of the most common problems in public safety today. Leaders must be built within an organization and understanding the basics of leadership and management will be critical to help the new supervisor transition into their position. Developing good supervisors is one of the keys to developing a good agency. This course will provide newly promoted first line supervisors the knowledge and skills necessary to transition into their new position.
This 20-hour course will:
o Define the foundations of leadership and describe their departmental and personal vision.
o Understand the importance of developing and strong ethical foundation of all employees.
o Define fundamental leadership styles and understand their own personal style.
o Define the difference between performance issues, policy issues, and serious misconduct as well as the supervisor’s role in handling such incidents.
o List the day-to-day duties of a public safety-first line supervisor and how to prioritize issues.
This class is recommended for supervisors, newly promoted supervisors, or employees preparing for a future role as a supervisor.
Course Outline: A pre-test written exam must be taken by each student to gauge their knowledge coupled with frequent oral quizzes. Practical in-classroom exercises and continual evaluation of skills learned throughout the course.
Day One, Introduction, Role of the Manager and Supervisor, Leadership Foundations, and Ethics

Social Networking
2025-03-05 08:00 - 2025-03-06 16:00 | Mott College – Regional Technology Center, 1401 E. Court St., Flint, Michigan, 48503
Provided by: Northeast Counterdrug Training Center Co-hosted by: U.S. Attorney’s Office – Eastern District of Michigan; MAGLOCLEN, and LEORTC
This course covers the essentials patrol officers, investigators, probation officers, School Resource Officers and anyone in the criminal justice system needs to know about social networking.
Various types of crime are rooted in social networking activity. Drugs, scams, identity theft, flash mobs, sexting, sextortion, cyber bullying, even school shootings can be attributed to social media. This course will break down the elements of social networking, examine what information is collected and demonstrate what a great investigative/intelligence tool it can be. Information regarding investigative leads, relationships, communications, photographs, location, etc. is all-available and many times an open source. In addition, students will learn the proper methods of authenticating the information they collect.
Social networking has created several problems for law enforcement especially in matters of safety for both officers and their families. Social media sites exist where officer and informant information is posted. Criminal organizations are collecting photos and biomaterial of officers and sharing that information via social media. This class will delineate steps officers must take to safeguard their information while utilizing social media for investigative work as well as in their personal lives.
*Students are required to bring a laptop or tablet to class for practice exercises.
