Lauderdale, FL Training Workshop The UNDERCOVER SURVIVAL TRAINING WORKSHOP is an intensive, and sometimes stressful, review of narcotic related police shootings. As the lead instructor, I have conducted extensive and in-depth research into hundreds of investigations, which resulted in violence towards, or assaults against, undercover agents. The findings of my research have been astonishing, when you consider that the vast majority, over 90%, of police shootings (narcotic related), or attempted drug rip-offs, occur as a result of mistakes made by the undercover operatives, the supervisors, or by the surveillance teams. Most of the injuries and deaths to police officers should not have occurred and in many cases, could have been avoided. The UNDERCOVER SURVIVAL WORKSHOP is designed to allow students to observe, critique and review undercover operations that culminated with violence against the undercover officer or arrest teams. The cases that will be presented will be specifically selected for their relevance to the types of narcotic investigation that are typically conducted by your Officers. Although the training is conducted in a classroom, students will be expected to participate in the discussions and to make cause determinations of the critical incidents presented. Much of this practical training course will be conducted with computer inter-active re-enactments as well as actual digital video of “deals that have gone bad.” * The Role of the Undercover Officer * * * * Undercover Violence…..How it Happens!

A review of cases from around the United States establishes that many police agencies are moving away from the use of SWAT team tactics and “dynamic entries” for narcotic related search warrants. Courts have recently ruled that to utilize a specialized team, deploying “dynamic tactics,” is in essence a use of force. As such, the decision itself may be unreasonable based upon the totality of the circumstances. Dynamic entry into homes to simply recover drugs and/or evidence are generally not supported by most subject matter experts or by an increasing number of progressive, forward thinking law enforcement professionals. Police commanders and narcotics officers must understand the elements of proper risk management and deploy tactics that will reduce the threat of violence. What is a “high risk” warrant. Threat Assessment & Risk Management. Operational Planning. Alternatives to “Dynamic Entries.” Search Warrant Checklist. Consequences of “hitting the wrong house.” Situational Discussions. Analyzing raid tactic alternatives. Informant Use: Dangerous Pitfalls! Controlled Buys. Exigent Circumstances. Anticipatory Warrants. “Sneak & Peek” Warrants. Target Verification. Deceptive Entries. “Knock & Talks.” Planning & documenting the search. Sample Warrant Language… Data device with electronic “sample” warrants provided to each student.
