One-Day (8-Hour) Training Course
Why take this course?
A police report can make or break a case. A well-written, thorough report is often the deciding factor in whether the District Attorney moves forward with prosecution—or drops the case entirely.

How to avoid common mistakes that cause cases to fall apart in prosecution.

How you’ll train:
This isn’t just a lecture-based class. Students will work through real-world scenarios that simulate law enforcement encounters, then turn those scenarios into complete reports. Along the way, you’ll receive feedback and learn step-by-step techniques to improve clarity, accuracy, and persuasiveness in your writing.
Course Highlights:
Engaging mix of instruction, examples, and interactive coursework.
Scenario-driven training that mirrors actual law enforcement situations.
Practical exercises that reinforce report structure and courtroom readiness.
Focus on prosecution expectations so your reports meet DA standards.
Takeaway:
By the end of this 8-hour training, you will have sharpened your ability to conduct interviews, document incidents, and produce reports that hold up under legal scrutiny. You’ll leave with tools, techniques, and confidence to write reports that lead to successful prosecutions and stronger cases for your department.
