This course offers meaningful training on how to answer the questions  government lawyers ask on direct and defense lawyers ask during cross-examination.  Officers will learn how to better prepare for giving testimony under oath and how to effectively handle attacks on credibility.

This is a highly effective program, taught by a nationally recognized instructor and tailored to give officers essential
skills needed when they are called to testify.

Modern Negotiations
Course Description:  Underused and underappreciated, being a police crisis negotiator is often a thankless position.

We believe crisis negotiators deserve better.
That's why we created this Modern Crisis Negotiations course, an advanced training course for negotiators like you.
