SUMMARY:Kids in Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Too often police officers are dispatched to assist with an “out of control child” and their arrival can make things worse. If we expect responding officers to handle such an incident\, they need the proper tools. This class is instructed by a child crisis specialist that will teach officers how to identify the type of crisis the child is experiencing and the best strategy for that crisis. For example\, is the child throwing a “tantrum” or having a “meltdown”? Are they on the autism spectrum? Are they non-verbal? If they cannot identify the problem\, they’ll never find the right solution. \n \n

SUMMARY:Technical Crash Investigation & Vehicle Dynamics Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Intended Audience\nThis course is designed for sworn law enforcement officers who have demonstrated aptitude in crash investigation and who have the interest\, ability\, and departmental support to progress toward analytical crash investigation and\, ultimately\, traffic crash reconstruction. \nPrerequisites\nSuccessful completion of Fundamentals of At-Scene Crash Investigation\, Basic Crash Investigation or an equivalent course.\nStudents are required to bring a scientific calculator\, a 360-degree protractor\, and colored pencils for class use. Also bring a traffic cash drawing template\, if available. \nCourse Description\nThis math- and science-intensive course provides police officers with analytical tools and foundational scientific principles used in traffic crash analysis. The course serves as an intermediate yet critical step between an at-scene crash investigation and comprehensive crash reconstruction training. During this Crash Analyst–level training\, students are introduced to the physics and mathematical principles that form the foundation of scientific crash reconstruction. Students will learn to interpret and identify crash evidence amenable to analytical methods and to apply accepted equations to reasonably estimate vehicle speeds\, positions\, motions\, and interactions during collision events. The course emphasizes understanding how crashes occur\, how vehicles respond to forces during impact\, and how evidence can be used to assess avoidability and potential criminal recklessness. Instruction is reinforced through instructor-led demonstrations\, guided problem solving\, collaborative exercises\, and student-completed projects. \nQuestions or Enrollment Assistance\nPlease contact Rich Maxwell at:\n📧 richard.maxwell@kean.edu or rlmax@att.net\n📱 (732) 567-7431

SUMMARY:Technical Crash Investigation & Vehicle Dynamics Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Intended Audience\nThis course is designed for sworn law enforcement officers who have demonstrated aptitude in crash investigation and who have the interest\, ability\, and departmental support to progress toward analytical crash investigation and\, ultimately\, traffic crash reconstruction. \nPrerequisites\nSuccessful completion of Fundamentals of At-Scene Crash Investigation\, Basic Crash Investigation or an equivalent course.\nStudents are required to bring a scientific calculator\, a 360-degree protractor\, and colored pencils for class use. Also bring a traffic cash drawing template\, if available. \nCourse Description\nThis math- and science-intensive course provides police officers with analytical tools and foundational scientific principles used in traffic crash analysis. The course serves as an intermediate yet critical step between an at-scene crash investigation and comprehensive crash reconstruction training. During this Crash Analyst–level training\, students are introduced to the physics and mathematical principles that form the foundation of scientific crash reconstruction. Students will learn to interpret and identify crash evidence amenable to analytical methods and to apply accepted equations to reasonably estimate vehicle speeds\, positions\, motions\, and interactions during collision events. The course emphasizes understanding how crashes occur\, how vehicles respond to forces during impact\, and how evidence can be used to assess avoidability and potential criminal recklessness. Instruction is reinforced through instructor-led demonstrations\, guided problem solving\, collaborative exercises\, and student-completed projects. \nQuestions or Enrollment Assistance\nPlease contact Rich Maxwell at:\n📧 richard.maxwell@kean.edu or rlmax@att.net\n📱 (732) 567-7431

SUMMARY:Motor Vehicle Stops & Searches
DESCRIPTION:Motor vehicle stops are among the most frequent and legally scrutinized actions taken by law enforcement officers. A clear understanding of the constitutional standards governing vehicle stops and searches is essential to conducting effective roadside investigations while protecting evidence\, cases\, and agencies from legal challenges.  \nThis course provides law enforcement officers with a comprehensive understanding of the constitutional principles and legal standards governing motor vehicle stops and vehicle searches. Officers will examine the Fourth Amendment framework that applies to traffic enforcement\, including reasonable suspicion\, probable cause\, and the legal justification required to stop and detain drivers and passengers. \nThrough case law analysis and practical examples\, the course covers lawful vehicle stops\, passenger issues\, consent searches\, probable cause vehicle searches\, the automobile exception\, protective sweeps\, K9 deployments\, and the scope and duration of traffic stops. Officers will also review common mistakes that lead to suppression of evidence and civil liability. \nBy the end of the course\, participants will be able to clearly articulate the legal basis for vehicle stops and searches\, properly document their actions\, and conduct roadside investigations that comply with constitutional requirements and current court decisions. \nThis training is designed to help officers strengthen roadside enforcement skills while protecting evidence\, cases\, and agencies from legal challenges.

SUMMARY:Practical Criminal Law for Patrol Officers
DESCRIPTION:Patrol officers are often the first to interpret and enforce criminal law in real time. A clear understanding of how criminal statutes apply to common street encounters is essential for making lawful arrests\, documenting probable cause\, and building strong cases for prosecution.  \nThis course provides law enforcement officers with practical guidance on applying criminal law during real-world patrol operations. Officers regularly encounter situations requiring rapid legal assessment and decision-making. Understanding how criminal statutes translate into street-level enforcement is essential for effective policing and constitutional compliance. \nThe course examines the most common criminal violations officers face in daily patrol duties\, including offenses such as assault\, theft\, burglary\, drug offenses\, disorderly conduct\, weapons violations\, and domestic violence. Participants will learn how to identify the legal elements of these offenses\, recognize probable cause\, and properly articulate observations in reports and testimony. \nThrough scenario-based discussion and case examples\, officers will explore how criminal law is applied in evolving situations such as traffic stops\, disturbance calls\, suspicious person investigations\, when a person refuses to identify themselves and warrantless arrests. Emphasis is placed on recognizing criminal conduct\, determining appropriate charges\, preserving evidence\, and avoiding common legal mistakes that can undermine prosecutions. \nBy the end of the course\, officers will have a stronger understanding of how criminal statutes operate in the field and how to confidently apply the law to the common violations they encounter during patrol.
