Interview and Interrogation for Law Enforcement (Advanced)
This course is designed to complement and enhance the NCTC Behavioral Analysis/Interrogation training initiative. This course relies on participant interaction with peers and role-players to simulate the techniques and practices presented by the instructor. Students will be critiqued and analyzed through video-taped role-playing scenarios.
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.
Physical Surveillance
This five-day course is designed for law enforcement officers involved in the tracking and monitoring of suspects through urban, suburban, or rural conditions for the purpose of documenting activities and potentially interdicting upon these actions. The "hands-on" scenario based training course immerses the attendees into surveillance scenarios simulating street crime situations such as drug dealing, burglaries, robberies, and other crimes.
Tactics for Narcotic Warrants
A common goal of most narcotic investigations is to execute search warrants to recover illicit drugs and contraband discovered during the investigation. Unfortunately, narcotic-related search warrants are one of the most dangerous types of planned operations conducted by law enforcement agencies across the United States. A narcotic entry team must receive proper and continual training to help minimize the risks associated with the operation.
Technology Threats and Trends Against Law Enforcement
Technology saturates our everyday lives. Yet, so many technologies are being developed with the specific purpose of targeting police officers or hiding criminal activity. This is a unique and eye-opening class for law enforcement personnel who want to learn more on how technologies are being used (or misused) to commit crimes, avoid or detect investigations, and to conduct counter surveillance. However, not only will this class examine and demonstrate how individuals are misusing these technologies, it will also reveal simple, inexpensive ways to mitigate their success as well as provide some investigative tips.
Video Surveillance Techniques
This course is designed on the premise that participants have little or no experience with video. Students will be exposed to state-of-the-art video surveillance systems and will be offered the opportunity to use them in realistic “hands-on” scenarios.
