  3.00 Credits

  Central Wyoming College

  
  This course introduces the student to report writing and court testimony, important functions of peace officers within the criminal justice system. For a peace officer's testimony to be given serious consideration by the court, it is essential that officers present themselves as professional, credible, and reliable witnesses.

Police reports provide critical and necessary information to evaluate and prepare a case; and from which a peace officer's later testimony is prepared and developed.

As the original report may be written months or even years before any testimony this class will discuss those things necessary for proper report writing. The student will learn skills, techniques and strategies to prepare effective and reliable police reports. This course will allow each student the opportunity to write a report and testify in a practice setting. (3 lect.)
