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

4th Amendment: Updated Search & Seizure for Patrol

presents
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!

Background Investigations for Michigan Police Applicants
2025-10-16 08:30 - 16:30 (America/Detroit)
State statutes require law enforcement agencies to conduct thorough and comprehensive background investigations of those who will be licensed as fully empowered law enforcement officers in the state of Michigan. A comprehensive background investigation is perhaps the most important component of the hiring process because it helps agencies select only those who are the best fit for both the organization and the communities they serve. In 2019, the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards adopted an Advisory Standard to assist investigators in their efforts to obtain the necessary and relevant information on an applicant’s background, as part of the agency’s overall selection and hiring process. Thorough work done at the beginning of the hiring process, with attention to detail, can help agencies select the right applicant for the right reasons. The purpose of this course is to provide participants with useful information and resources that will assist them in conducting a thorough background investigation. Those attending will learn about
contemporary strategies in completing a comprehensive, competency-based pre-employment background investigation on police applicants.

Topics will include:

The police officer hiring process.
MCOLES Advisory Standard & Selected Best Practices for Background Investigations
Legal concerns
Suggested background investigation forms.
Criminal record searches
Document verification
Background Interviewing
Employment verification
Military service verification
Educational verification

Background investigation reports

Attendees are encouraged to bring to the class a blank copy of their own department’s background questionnaire for
police applicants.

This four hour seminar will offer participants a fresh approach to reducing 911 calls for service and increasing tenant’s quality of life through tried and true best practices and case studies.

Partnerships- Neither Police Officers, Rental Community Management, nor Residents can fight crime and quality of life issues alone. A reciprocated union is required to fix reoccurring issues and the only way to find success is through a collaborative effort.
Prevention- The understanding that prevention is always better than having to seek a cure. This is accomplished through critical risk assessments put into action to achieve a preventative goal.
