Courtroom Testimony for Police/Corrections Officers
2025-12-05 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.

4th Amendment: Updated Search & Seizure for Patrol

4th Amendment: Updated Search & Seizure for Patrol

Date: February 18, 2026, 8:30am-4:30pm
Location: Grand Blanc Township Police Department, 5405 S. Saginaw Street, Grand Blanc, MI 48507
Every officer who makes arrests, conducts searches of any kind, or detains anyone for the purposes of questioning them, must thoroughly understand the parameters set forth by the Fourth Amendment related to search and seizure. A lack of that understanding gravely jeopardizes cases and exposes you and your department to expensive legal liability and ultimately give criminals an avoidable and undeserved ticket to freedom.
This course is designed to give law enforcement professionals of all ranks a complete understanding of the Constitutional parameters that apply to search and seizure; the protections due citizens and the leeway officers have while performing their duties.
Among other topics, Detective Mike Montgomery, a detective with the West Chicago Police Department, will approach—in an extremely practical and understandable fashion—topics like:

Citizens’ reasonable expectation of privacy.
Non-physical and physical intrusions.
Legal requirements to launch an investigation, execute arrests or conduct searches.
What constitutes reasonable, articulable suspicion and probable cause.
Handling drivers and passengers during traffic stops.
Legally extending stops for the purpose of investigation.
Plain view, plain smell and K9 sniffs.
Pat downs, frisks and plain feel…and much more.

This course is both crucial and immediately applicable. No officer can afford to miss this information, and no agency can have officers who don’t fully understand the Fourth Amendment!

ADVANCED PATROL TACTICS: Patrol, Vehicle Stops and Officer Safety
Hosted By
Law Enforcement Officers Regional Training Commission
Injuries and deaths – to both officers and citizens – and damage that negatively impacts the police/community relationship most often occur during “routine” uniformed police duties. Street Patrol is one of the most common, yet dangerous actions performed by police officers. Responding to calls in progress, traffic stops, and citizen encounters are a leading cause of grievances and physical harm.
Course Description: This up-to-date and highly informative eight-hour course utilizes nearly 100 current videos and illustrations to examine how to prevent these occurrences. Regardless of agency size, this class benefits every officer from rookies to veterans. From handcuffing and arrest techniques to de-escalation and communication, this course will make you safer on the streets – ingraining best practices into your “toolbox.” While the course is designed to be dynamic, practical and fun, it takes the subject of officer safety very seriously. By the end of the seminar, you will be able to immediately implement new tactics and techniques which will increase your confidence and dramatically improve your officer safety skills. This course is constantly evolving, incorporating current events and relevant supporting material that meets the professional needs of Law Enforcement.
Some course topics include: Tactical Excellence: Question Everything, Exclusive Tactics for Nighttime Patrol, Examine Recent “High Profile” Cases and the Lessons Learned

FORCE: Tactical Options to Avoid the Avoidable does just that. YOU are the ultimate decision maker. Your tactics, communication and control directly influence whether an encounter escalates or de-escalates. This course is designed to empower you with the tools to make the best decision possible, with the ultimate goal of avoiding force whenever safely and reasonably possible.
Some topics include: Deconstruct Critical Incidents, Identify and Correct Avoidable Mistakes: Learn to recognize how poor tactics, ineffective communication, a lack of personal control, or a misunderstanding of acute stress can unintentionally and unconsciously escalate an event, Analysis of The Graham Standard and the 2025 Unanimous Supreme Court Decision Barnes v.
