SYNOPSIS

Officers testify at various phases of criminal cases and the stakes are especially high in today’s highly charged social justice environment.  Cases are won or lost on the quality of the testimony of law enforcement officers.  All of the effort and hours put into a good investigation can be destroyed by bad testimony.

Monday, March 8, 2021 - PART ONE offers basic courtroom skills and meaningful training on how to answer the questions government lawyers ask on direct and defense lawyers ask during cross-examination.  Officers will learn how to better prepare for giving effective testimony under oath.

Friday, March 12, 2021 - PART TWO takes a deeper look all the basic skills.  Additionally officers will learn how to give more effective compelling direct testimony, use persuasion techniques to testify more effectively, and to anticipate questions they will be asked on cross-examination in this era of Social Justice Reform. Understanding objections and using exhibits effectively will be addressed.
