Course description:
This class is for tactical teams that serve high risk search warrants. During this training we will discuss the planning and execution phases of a high risk search warrant service (pre-planned or call out). The five phases of a high risk search warrant execution will be discussed to include: pre-planning intelligence, recon mission (SCOUT), scheming the plan, pre-brief and execution. We will emphasize the importance of adhering to legal protocols, protecting individuals' rights and ensuring the safety of law enforcement personnel involved in the process. Additionally, practical scenarios and case studies (lessons learned) will be included to provide a hands-on experience and enhance the student's understanding. The practical scenario consists of the students going into the field and completing a "SCOUT" (recon mission) of a specific target, returning to the classroom and completing a mock mission plan. Once the plan is completed the students will complete a mock field briefing of the execution of the search warrant to the class.
