Courtroom Testimony
The arrest of suspects based on probable cause is void if the arresting officer cannot skillfully and purposefully present his or her evidence in a court of law. This course will offer insight on what makes a good witness, what qualifies a witness to be an expert, and what content needs to be included in an expert’s testimony. Participants will be given trial testimony hints and tactics for handling drug, property crime cases, sexual assault and violent crime cases. This course is designed for all certified law enforcement officers.
