Until it becomes a problem called to the attention of the officer, a supervisor and/or the prosecutor, by
the public, a Judge or a lawsuit; the fact that a Law Enforcement Officer doesn’t really understand the
laws and guidelines governing arrest, search and seizure are often neglected as a true concern. Since
topics like defensive tactics and shooting skills rank at the top of the average Law Enforcement Officer’s
list of preferred classes, and report writing and probable cause development rank near the bottom,
many officers fail to realize that their understanding is also important to their career development and
professional survival.

Commonly due to the failure to make the topics both interesting and ‘applicable’ to on-scene
performance, the failure often comes from the lack of instruction-based scenarios based in performance
and liability concerns that are centered on real-life situations. This training has been developed to make
the information provided both applicable to -and supportive of- on-scene knowledge and performance
regarding probable cause development for arrest, search and seizure for Law Enforcement Officers while
doing their job.
