Why This Training?
Part of Constitutional Police training is about individual, personal efforts to know and understand how the Constitution applies to police practices. Another part, this part, involves organizational leadership - what focused policies, strengthened systems and other initiatives can be brought to bear in this quest for the legitimacy in which we are all necessarily invested pursuant to legal and ethical obligations. This is an intense, deep-dive training program about leadership principles as applied to the much-needed effort to assure the highest possible quality of Constitutional Policing - inspiring people to apply our core values to this vitally important area of performance.
Violations of the Federal Constitution can cause loss of public trust, criminal evidence suppression, massive civil liability and even criminal prosecution of law enforcement officers. This advanced training reminds the leaders of field law enforcement officers what officers can and cannot lawfully do under the United States Constitution. It demonstrates how knowledge of the law can be a powerful tool for achieving investigative goals and it can empower officers to attain higher ethical standards, consistent with their oaths of office, without sacrifice of overall law enforcement effectiveness. Getting all this right requires active, committed leadership.
All law enforcement leaders at all levels are responsible for assuring high-quality outcomes in this critical area. From hiring to firing and everything in between, leadership involvement and initiatives can help, or hinder, these dynamics. This training explains how.
