About the Course
Law Enforcement is a noble profession, but it is a profession that continues to
be under intense scrutiny. No part of the profession has escaped criticism, from
our records section, 9-1-1 Centers, patrol, investigations, and administration.
This highly interactive course will address the basis of missteps made by our
professionals. Too many agencies focus on “things” as the remedy. While
there is tremendous value to be found in these “things” emphasis must shift
to the “think.” We must equip our personnel with the necessary skills to think
critically and be adaptive in their decision making.
