Improving your DUI Case
2023-02-07 09:00 - 13:00
The online training will cover the following topics:
Testifying on Direct and Cross Examination for DWI Cases– This block of instruction
covers common mistakes made at trial and common defense tactics. This will
increase officer’s confidence in court and lead to more productive arrests.
Roadside Interviewing and Reestablishing Rapport Post Arrest– Far too often we
settle for the “just two beers” response. This instruction will teach officers
interviewing questions that can lead to a stronger case. Once an arrest is made,
how do we obtain a voluntary toxicology sample? We will discuss ways to
reestablish rapport to get that voluntary sample.
What is you why? – Traffic fatalities have done up since 2019. This presentation
will cover reason in the increase in traffic deaths and suggestions to change current
trends.
