This course is a five-day (36 hour) training program designed for Law Enforcement Supervisors who over see Narcotics, Gangs, Street Crimes and Tactical Units. This is a one of a kind, must attend conference for all supervisors who are in charge of these high liability units.
All too often many supervisors are promoted and placed in specialized units with little or no training or investigative experience for these specialized units. This places the supervisor and their units at an extreme disadvantage as well as placing the law enforcement agency in a high liability position.
The instructors will cover a multitude of topics ranging from initiating specialized operations, supervising investigators, personnel selection, implementing new policies and fine tuning existing policies. Working with outside law enforcement agencies is crucial to being successful and the instructors will cover how to set up MOU’s and how to create new task forces with almost no costs to participating agencies.
This is a unique conference as the curriculum will range from proceedural topics to supervising and initiating actual operations for narcotics, vice and gang related investigations. The instructors for this training have a wide variety of experience and expertise in their respective fields.

The conference will detail how ot set up and organize multi jurisdiction operations which can be utilized to target both narcotics subjects and gang members. Case studies on long term gang investigations will be detailed during the training.
