Interview and Interrogation for Law Enforcement (Basic)
This basic interview and interrogation course will instruct students who are inexperienced or new to interview and interrogation or those who want to increase their skills. This course will provide lessons and practical exercises.
Law Enforcement Intelligence
Law Enforcement Intelligence is a crucial aspect to combating crime in the 21st century. Modern day technology continues to evolve; however, law enforcement has been behind the curve. Unfortunately, many law enforcement agencies are attempting to fight current criminal activities with outdated methods. This course is designed to help bring officers and investigators up to speed with new technology trends and give them practical/applicable tools to successfully conduct online investigations involving open source and social media.
Leading and Managing a Task Force Unit
This course is for all levels of supervision, new or current supervisors assigned to a task force or drug unit. Supervisors will be taught using classroom instruction and tabletop exercises.
Methamphetamine Clandestine Lab Safety
Law enforcement is confronted with illegal drug manufacturing processes which expose officers to the violence associated with drug organizations but also chemical hazards from these processes. OSHA requires employers to training officers working in these environments to the Hazardous Waste Operations & Emergency Response (HAZWOPER). This class meets the OSHA training requirement and teaches officers to operate safely in the hazardous environment while dismantling a lab. This course uses classroom lecture along with practical exercises to teach the skills necessary to operate safely in the drug lab.
Mexican Drug Cartel Investigations
Mexican Drug Trafficking Organizations are impacting communities in nearly every city in the United States. This problem can no longer be viewed as a “Border Issue.” The majority of the drugs distributed and consumed in the U.S. originate in Mexico. The cartel leaders have strategically formed relationships with American Street gangs to flood the streets with illicit drugs.
Middle East Focus
This 2-day course will familiarize attendees with the history of the Middle East and the culture of regional peoples with special focus on Islam as a religion and as a pattern for living. The program will enable law enforcement to develop strategies that bridge the gap between misunderstanding and beneficial engagement with the Muslim community and individuals of Middle Eastern descent from all religions.
Mid-Level Narcotics Investigations
Basic narcotic training courses focus on drug identification, types of informants, operational planning, and search warrant execution. Advanced narcotic training courses focus on drug cartels, money laundering, complex conspiracy investigations, and interstate/international wiretap cases. While these two types of training programs are a necessary part of drug enforcement, there is a considerable gap in the training available to law enforcement officers that target mid-level drug dealers.
Money Laundering & Digital Payment Methods
This Money Laundering & Digital Payment Methods course is designed to equip law enforcement officers with essential skills to detect, investigate, and dismantle money laundering operations tied to drug trafficking. Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of the financial processes that support criminal organizations, and the methods used to launder illicit proceeds. Through a combination of theoretical insights and practical exercises, officers will explore how to identify fraudulent business practices and conduct financial interviews aimed at uncovering hidden assets.
Naloxone Administration for Potential Bystanders
Naloxone can be a lifesaving drug when administered in a timely manner to a person who is overdosing on opioids. Naloxone Administration for Potential Bystanders is a course designed to prepare any individual in the event they encounter an opioid overdose situation that requires immediate action. Students will be instructed on how to recognize an overdose, administering naloxone, performing rescue breathing, and what to do after the person has been revived.
Opioid Awareness Seminar
The sudden rise in opioid and prescription narcotic deaths, both nationally and throughout the Commonwealth, has presented a unique challenge to local communities. The Opioid Awareness Seminar focuses on national, statewide and local trends relating to heroin, prescription opioids, and other opioid compounds. Overdose awareness, recognizing a potential addiction and community prevention/treatment programs will also be discussed providing a realization of how the opioid epidemic can affect the school environment and the community.
