You asked for it and we delivered! Everyone found the first evolution of our case law class to be so invaluable that we published the next evolution of case law that all NJ law enforcement need to know. If you’ve taken proactive patrol or our original case law class we have created a class with a whole new set of topics that you must know to be able to make sound decisions legally as a police officer. Case law is the law that is established by the outcome of former cases. Without knowing what is constitutionally permitted action, police work is merely a guessing game. We live in a time and era where the public expects their law enforcement officers to know how to make correct legal decisions in the field. It is our duty to ensure at a minimum that police officers are acting effectively and constitutionally compliant. The job gets done better and is easier than most think when you know exactly what to do.
The course topics will include but not be limited to Sources of Information, Entering into Homes, Arrest Warrant Authority, Exigent Circumstances, Emergency Aid Doctrine, Community Care Taking Functions, Knock and Announce Rules, Fresh Pursuit, Protective Sweeps, Plain View, Warrant Application, Common Authority, Search incident to arrest, Inventory of Property and much more. There is no order in which these classes should be taken as each one addresses a different set of topics. And there are many that police must know.
This training will extinguish common false misconceptions plaguing law enforcement while providing a sense of relief for administrators knowing that their staff has received the tools they need to prevent accusations of misconduct and litigious claims. It’s no secret that this course and all Street Cop courses are highly informative and entertaining. We are thrilled when our students leave class ready to perform in the field confidently and without hesitation knowing the action they are taking is supported by our courts rulings.
