For law enforcement personnel only. Instead of the standard lecture on what you cannot do when acting under the color of law, this class zeros directly in on ways of fulfilling law enforcement objectives in the face of the law's constraints. Consisting of an interactive multi-media presentation designed to engage the students in thought and discussion with the instructor and each other while learning how to apply the Fourth Amendment to both basic and highly complex fact patterns.

This class is designed for law enforcement personnel at all levels interested in having the components of a warrant broken down into simple, understandable concepts and having the drafting and execution process mapped out systematically. The class focuses on how to articulate probable cause in difficult cases and how to maximize the utility of your warrant by expansively delineating the property to be seized and effectively describing the entire premises to be searched.
