Legal Update
Robert Sharkey

The US Supreme Court and the Appellate Courts in Michigan regularly issue opinions which affect the power of law enforcement officers. The ability of an officer to deter criminal activity, investigate crimes and apprehend suspects is governed by this ever changing area of the law. Understanding those powers is key to effective policing.
This 4-hour course is an update on statutory changes and court rulings which have both expanded the power of the police in some areas while restricting the power in other areas of the law. Topics related to Miranda Warnings, Right to Counsel, Use of K-9s at traffic stops and around dwellings, Use of thermal imaging equipment, and the Search of Motor Vehicles after an arrest, along with other topics will be addressed.
The update will review basic principles along with the latest developments. Participants will receive course materials and a certificate of completion of the training.Consortium Fee: $50.00
