Who should attend: Uniform patrol officers, as well as units within patrol commonly referred to as street crimes and/or violent offender units. If you are answering calls for service, conducting traffic stops or assigned to investigate crimes involving repeat or violent offenders, then this course is a must for you or your unit.
