We have demonstrations from SWAT, criminal forensics, traffic enforcement, K-9, emergency driving and patrol officer duties. We conduct classroom work utilizing the New Mexico Criminal and Traffic Law Manual. We write police reports on many cases that we present to you. We also go over defensive tactics and discuss the equipment that is available to each officer.
