During the training, participants will deepen their understanding of relevant key terms and concepts; identify assumptions, perceptions, and perspectives related to identity, culture, and discrimination; and discuss how these concepts intersect with their policing practices.

MID-Level Narcotics Investigation
April 28-29, 2025 @ 08:00-16:00 (Registration @ 0730) - Registration Link
Bennington County Sheriff's Department - 811 US Route 7 South Bennington, VT 05201
Cost: Free
Basic narcotic training courses focus on drug identification, types of informants, operational planning, and search warrant execution. Advanced narcotic training courses focus on drug cartels, money laundering, complex conspiracy investigations, and interstate/international wiretap cases. While these two types of training programs are a necessary part of drug enforcement, there is a considerable gap in the training available to law enforcement officers that target mid-level drug dealers. This training course will teach officers how to identify, target, infiltrate, and prosecute drug organizations that go undetected. Concepts utilized by federal agencies to dismantle interstate narcotic traffickers will be presented to show how the same concepts can be utilized by local and state police officers to dismantle narcotic dealers flooding communities with drugs.
This training curriculum was developed to target mid-level drug dealers using all available resources including both state and federal narcotic and firearm laws. All the material presented in this course is based solely on methods and techniques that have infiltrated numerous mid-level drug groups and know how to attack every aspect of the group to dismantle the entire organization.
