Advanced Search and Seizure is a comprehensive, blended-learning course focusing on Constitutional concepts related to the 4th, 5th, and 6th Amendments of the United States Constitution.  Through the use of scenario-based training, participants will explore the limitations and framework of these amendments utilizing up-to-date case law from the United States Supreme Court along with various persuasive or compelling rulings from federal circuits around the United States. Participants will learn and understand procedures involving various legal principles they must follow from the initial police/citizen encounter to various seizures, searches, and/or interrogations. 

The legal issues to be addressed by this course affect law enforcement in a variety of ways.  First, the manner in which an officer conducts law enforcement operations may influence the prosecution of offenders.  Additionally, the professionalism and credibility of officers and agencies will be scrutinized and challenged where cases are lost due to a technical failure by officers to follow the ever-changing legal requirements.  Finally, officers and agencies may face exposure to civil liability where there has been some deviation from the constitutional rules.

This course is ideal for all sworn law enforcement personnel, regardless of rank.
