Vehicle Stops and Searches:

A Revealing Journey to Becoming a More Effective Officer

This is no ordinary search and seizure class. Join instructor, author, officer, and search and seizure expert Don McCrea as he leads attendees to a clear understanding of an officer's authority during vehicle stops and warrantless searches of vehicles and vehicle occupants.

There is a huge difference between thinking you know your authority and knowing your authority! Citizens are challenging the authority of officers and holding law enforcement accountable as never before.  In our profession, “not being sure” during a tense street encounter or a traffic stop is not an option.  Since there are far more legal issues involved with vehicle stops and searches than even many veteran officers realize, it is imperative that officers clearly understand their lawful authority and perform their duties with confidence.

Don will provide definitive answers to the questions you have. Come prepared to get involved in this course presented by a passionate and knowledgeable instructor. Content is backed by case law.
