School Resource Officer Law (Online)

This is a new course designed for law enforcement officers who are tasked with enforcing criminal law within our schools.  The course will provide training in enforcement activities associated with search warrants, warrantless searches, interviews, eye-witness identifications and non-testimonial identification orders for those who are subjected to potential legal liability resulting from those activities. The course will provide School Resource Officers with the knowledge and skills necessary to conduct enforcement activities associated with schools that are consistent with state and federal law

This is a self-paced, online course that is delivered via the Moodle Learning Management System. There are no in-course deadlines for assignments. All assignments must be completed by the end date of the course.
