In light of recent cases, departments have
been forced to re-examine their practices in order to stay proactive -
particularly during vehicle stops. This seminar will focus on problematic areas
of search and seizure law and will address how police may adapt their practices
to meet new requirements and limitations and still be proactive in enforcing the law.
This training will benefit supervisors, FTOs, investigators and patrol officers.
Topics include:
What limits on search incident-to-arrest in vehicles must officers now observe
under Arizona v. Gant (2009)?
If search incident-to-arrest is not available to search a vehicle, what
alternatives may be employed?
When may you ask questions unrelated to the original purpose of a traffic stop?
How can you covert a stop into a consensual encounter?
What is the Community Caretaking or Public Safety Function,
recently articulated by our Supreme Court?
When may you summon a drug sniffing canine during a stop?
What is the recently articulated law regarding Hot Pursuit into a
residence to arrest a fleeing person?
What authority does an officer have to control vehicle occupants?
What factors now determine the scope of a consent search of intimate areas of a
person’s body?
May the property of a non-arrestee located in a vehicle be searched
incident-to-arrest?
How long must officers wait before forcing entry after knocking and announcing?
