This class is a deep dive into street level proactive policing tactics. Considered by many as the all-encompassing guide for patrol officers looking to reach their potential, every single block of instruction covered is essential to being a multi-dimensional proactive officer on patrol. This course provides the tools and the game plan to the attendee, so that they will leave at the end of the day and be an effective police officer against the criminal element, every single shift. The skills and tactics taught here are universal in police work across the world, as the class does not spend time on state-specific traffic code, penal code, or state-specific case law.

Throughout the entire class, the attendee can expect to be a part of an intense, rapid-fire exposure to successful street level interdiction tactics, having a front seat ride for it as they will analyze and break-down numerous police body worn camera videos with the instructor and gain repeated mental repetitions, making these mental experiences their own.

This class provides a different experience for the attendee from any other class out there, being considered a virtual proactive field-training type experience. Instructor Craig Meyer methodically breaks down the different blocks of instruction so that each one builds on the next in what he refers to as, building the layers of the proactive pyramid from the bottom up. Specifically, the attendee will become versed in the role of the limbic system with respect to freeze, flight, and fight, verbal and nonverbal distancing behaviors, stress indicators and pacifying behaviors and pre-flight and pre-assault indicators. These layers will be explained by showing countless examples of pedestrian, bicycle and vehicle stops, breaking them down so the attendee understands how to work through them successfully from start to finish. The attendee will be shown how to legally as well as successfully navigate through developing reasonable articulable suspicion, how to conduct roadside interviews, how to build rapport, gain admissions of probable cause and gain consent, as well as how to work through the times when consent is denied and R.A.S. is present.

This course takes on the role of the virtual FTO, providing the attendee the skills and tactics that are critical for them as an officer, to successfully go out and interdict crime at the street level. This course has an equal focus on providing the attendee with officer safety tactics that are imperative for increasing the survival rate of an on-the-job assault as well as the skills and knowledge to see them coming before it is too late. This is primarily achieved through what Meyer refers to as a combination of Perception Fieldcraft and Impression Management which comes into play on every stop made.

Instructor Craig Meyer stands behind his "lead from the front" mentality as a supervisor, prioritizes developing his people and believes in fulfilling his greater purpose of helping officers all over the country achieve success in employing proactive policing tactics. This course is essential whether you are just getting out of academy and picking up new tools or have been on the street for several years and are sharpening the ones you already have.
