A professional police service requires performance standards which are based on the law.
Police have a duty to periodically review and update their understanding of the law.
In this time of increasing liability this training is becoming increasingly critical. Instruction will consist of a brief lecture with open discussion and questions and answer on each topic. An extensive legal update manual will be furnished to each student and practical examples will be discusses.
