This course is designed for officers who want to build their skills as active participants in the prosecution whether the officer has never testified, or is a veteran of the courtroom. The course emphasizes preparation, beginning with the investigation, and following through the motion to suppress evidence, and trial. Individual and team activities enhance courtroom presentation and opportunity for conviction. Officers prepare reports, exhibits, and testimony for participation in the motion to suppress and the trial. Each officer participates in direct examination and cross examination. Understanding each person's role in the courtroom and the need for cooperative interaction between investigation and prosecution is developed.
