Description

Law enforcement officers may be called upon to testify at several phases in criminal cases. Officers provide impactful testimony at motions, hearings and at trial. Unfortunately, law enforcement too often take the stand without adequate preparation and without meaningful training about how to answer lawyers' questions. Teaching officer’s strategies and tactics to effectively answer the questions lawyers are trained to ask is critical to successful prosecutions. Law enforcement personnel need to exercise these strategies and tactics in a training setting and receive meaningful feedback. The objective of this program is to: provide meaningful preparation that applies to testimony in criminal cases, train officers to become effective and credible witnesses.
