Ever face a split-second decision on a traffic stop that could make or break your case in court? You know the drill: long shifts blurring the lines on probable cause, consent, or when a K9 sniff crosses into unlawful territory. One wrong call, and evidence gets suppressed, lawsuits pile up, or worse—you're second-guessing yourself on the next tough shift.

That's why staying sharp on search and seizure, traffic stops, and interrogation case law matters. It keeps your actions defensible, protects your career, and ensures justice sticks.


Join us in Huntsville, AL—hosted by the Huntsville Police Department—for practical, street-tested training that cuts through the gray areas:

Advanced Search & Seizure: Master Fourth Amendment basics, warrants, exceptions, and real-world scenarios to build court-proof decisions. Feb 3, 2026 | 8 AM - 5 PM | $225


Advanced Traffic Stops: Nail pretext stops, vehicle searches, passenger detentions, and inventories without the legal pitfalls. Feb 4, 2026 | 8 AM - 5 PM | $225


Interview and Interrogation Case Law: Get confessions that hold under Fifth and Sixth Amendment scrutiny, with case studies on Miranda, voluntariness, and admissibility. Feb 5, 2026 | 8 AM - 5 PM | $225

Attend all three for $495. Led by Attorney & Senior Legal Instructor John Wiehn, who's been in the trenches and gets the pressure.

Hey officers—FTOs, supervisors, and leaders alike—let’s get real: One weak spot in your Field Training Program can trigger massive liability, lawsuits, and agency nightmares. Don’t let that happen on your watch.

Join our FREE webinar: FTO Liability Tuesday, December 30, 2025 | 6:00 PM Pacific

We’ll cut straight to what matters:

•Your legal burden as an FTO and how training failures create agency exposure
•Section 1983 lawsuits explained—what “color of law” means in court
•Qualified immunity: When it protects you... and when poor FTO practices strip it away (key cases like Kilnapp v. City of Cleveland)
•Monell liability: How outdated or missing training leads to million-dollar claims (City of Canton v. Harris, Estate of Roman v. Newark)
•Report writing & termination risks that come back to haunt you

Practical tools, real cases, zero fluff—everything you need to train right and stay protected.

Register once, attend live or catch the recording later – your call. Thousands of your brothers and sisters in blue already trust these free sessions every month.

Brothers and sisters in blue—I’ve got something you needed in your toolbox yesterday.

Sean Meyer (yeah, Craig’s brother and cut from the exact same cloth) is stepping up to the plate to bring you the full Mastering Proactive Policing For Patrol course. Same slides, war stories, same case law that’s saved more careers than we can count—just a new voice delivering it because Craig’s calendar stays slammed with waiting lists.

This isn’t “another class.” This is the training that pays for itself the very first time you light someone up and know—100%—your stop, your frisk, your PC, and your report are airtight. One good arrest, one lawsuit you never have to fight, one complaint that dies on the sergeant’s desk… yeah, it’s paid for.

Seats are first-come, first-served, and once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Let’s fill Sean’s schedule up and keep putting good guys in jail while keeping ourselves out of the headlines.
