The Division is pleased to announce the availability of one of our most highly requested courses Legal Issues for N.Y. Law Enforcement Officers. These two day training courses train officers, investigators and supervisors to start much earlier in building a case as soon as they get dispatched. These courses will be held in the Capital District, Western NY, Southern Tier, Central NY and Hudson Valley areas. The most recent U.S. Supreme Court and N.Y. Court of Appeals case law updates will be discussed throughout the training.

This course is designed for all police officers; whether they are patrol officers, plain clothes investigators or supervisors of any assignment. The course will consist of an in depth analysis of the most recent court cases pertaining to search and seizure and legal aspects of interrogations and confessions. In addition to learning the applicable law, the focus will be on how these precedents directly impact an officer in the performance of his or her duties and strategies to get the job done the right way. Intermixed throughout the course will be discussions on officer safety, civil liability and a review of commonly misused and misunderstood penal law sections. The core course content of these additional sessions will remain similar to the sessions previously offered but has been revised and updated.
Course Topics:
• Legal issues during street encounters
• Warrantless searches and seizures
• Issues writing reports, depositions and accusatory instruments
• Legal aspects of interrogations and confessions – right to counsel issues

This course will be taught by Chief Michael Ranalli of the Glenville, New York police department. Chief Ranalli has over 20 years of law enforcement experience, serving in many different ranks with many different responsibilities. Chief Ranalli has been a member of the New York State Bar for years, as well as a published author in such topics as Search and Seizure. He brings a wealth of knowledge on street and higher level police experience to this training. You are guaranteed to walk away from this training with new insight into law enforcement!
