“More convictions are lost at trial by poor police testimony than by poor police procedure."

Chiefs and Training Officers:
Your people spend time in court. How much preparation is typical? How well have they been trained in their role as state's witness? Are they believable? How do they fare with judges and juries? Don’t some have consistently better conviction rates than others?

Our programs prepare police and security personnel for testifying under oath before grand juries, petit juries and investigatory bodies. They will learn to improve their credibility while reducing their time on the stand. Unlike typical training provided by Prosecutors and AGs, we bring the defense point of view.

 

These entertaining and enriching programs will show your people:

 

	How to Change Gears from Officer to Witness
	What to Ask the Prosecutor Beforehand
	Why Demonstrative Evidence is Essential
	The "Yeah, right!" Model for Believability
	Defense Techniques for Discrediting Police
	How to Answer the "No Win" Question
	When and How to Use "Coptalk" in Court
	How to Disarm an Aggressive Interrogator
	How to Use Your Police Report at Trial
	to Testify as a Defendant/Target
