Courses For New Mexico Officers

Search & Seizure in New Mexico

New Mexico officers should not be scared or confused about the law. The New Mexico Search and Seizure course is a full day NMDPS approved course. Course covers New Mexico's Article 2, Section 10 (NM's version of the 4th Amendment.) Officers will learn about the warrant requirement and all of the recognized exceptions to the warrant requirement under New Mexico law. This course is great for new officers and seasoned officers alike.

The Officer Prosecutor

You should not be afraid to go to court and prosecute your case. Many officers simply do not show up to trial when the defendant hires an attorney. As a result, the case gets dismissed. This course will help you learn the basics of trial advocacy. Learn how to prepare, present and win your case in court. This course is NMDPS approved. Options include a full day course or a more in depth two day course in which officers will present a mock case from start to finish.

Courtroom Testimony

Afraid to go to court? Worried about what questions the defense attorney will ask on cross? Confused about objections?

Learn the characteristics of a credible witness and the power of story telling. Ease your nerves the next time you testify, learn the techniques defense attorneys use to cross examine police officers and what you can do to prepare for court.

Courses for Law Enforcement

Drafting Search Warrants - Legal Aspects

Search warrants do not have to be intimidating. Once you know the law and create a template, they can be drafted very quickly. This 4-hour course demystifies search warrants. Officers will learn the law and draft their own search warrant for controlled substances. Officers can later use the template they created in class to draft real search warrants on the job.

Use Of Force Law

This is one of the most important courses every officer must take! In today's climate, officers and departments across the country are experiencing an increase in harmful civil rights lawsuits. Attorney Erik Scramlin brings his litigation experience in the courtroom to this course. Officers will learn about Graham v. Connor, Tennessee v. Garner, Scott v. Harris and human performance factors that keep officers safe while reducing exposure to devastating lawsuits. This full day course is an interactive approach to deprogramming the subconscious mind and reprogramming with up to date case law and human performance factors that will give officers the confidence they need. Learn the law like a lawyer and transform your career.

Fourth Amendment Search & Seizure

Plaintiffs attorneys across the country make a living (and a damn good one) by taking advantage of officers lack of knowledge of the Fourth Amendment. It is not good enough to have a basic understanding of search and seizure. In today's climate, every officer must know the 4th Amendment and be able to apply it in a split second, just like a lawyer. This basic Fourth Amendment Search and Seizure course teaches officers everything they need to know about search and seizure.
