03
Power to Arrest Review
Your authority and its limits — revisited, because this is where officers drift over time.
04
Report Writing
Clear, factual, defensible reports. The single most valuable skill on any post.

Public Relations & De-escalation
Handling the public, difficult contacts, and talking a situation down before it becomes an incident.
