Courtroom Testimony is one of the most important tasks for any law enforcement officer and it is the one that receives the least training, or no training at all. In fact, most officers have complained that they never received any training on courtroom testimony and feel extremely nervous and unprepared for the courtroom. Prosecutors complain that many officers are ill prepared or provide poor testimony in trails and hearings causing trials to be lost or pleaded down to a lesser charge.  Today’s defense attorneys are much more savvy and cunning and are more prone to use dirty tricks and more intimidation than ever before.  This course is designed for any officer who wants to become a more effective witness in court, or any officer with the need to become more adept at the skill of courtroom testimony.  Police Officers, Federal Agents, Investigators, Corrections Officers, Parole and Probation Officers, and other law enforcement officers are urged to attend this course!
