The Elite Officer Standards Bundle is designed for officers who want to lead with confidence, credibility, and professionalism on the street and within their organization. This advanced training series goes beyond mandated learning to dive deep into real world experiences, critical decision making, and the evolving standards that define elite law enforcement today. Through in-depth instruction on domestic violence response, gun laws, human trafficking, respectful workplace practices, and advanced use of force considerations, officers will sharpen their judgment, strengthen community trust, and elevate workplace culture. These courses challenge participants to think critically, apply lessons from real cases, and develop the skills needed to navigate complex situations while setting the standard for professionalism, accountability, and respect.

Day 1:

Domestic Violence (4 Credit Hours): This course equips law enforcement officers with the essential skills to intervene effectively on domestic abuse and domestic assault calls by building trust, making proper threat assessments, and providing effective resource and referral strategies. It emphasizes clear communication, active listening, and conflict resolution to allow early intervention at initial calls for service of domestic disputes.

Gun Laws (2 Credit Hours) This course is comprehensive training on state and federal firearms disqualification issues, including domestic violence related convictions, mental health issues, Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs) and many more. This course will include real life examples, case law, and tips. The course will cover the main legal concepts encountered when processing permits to purchase or carry, as well as the process and rules regarding ERPOs

Professional Presence & Workplace Behavior (2 Credit Hours): This workshop provides law enforcement professionals with a clear, practical framework for positive workplace behavior. Participants will explore how individual actions, communication styles, and daily interactions shape agency culture. Using real-life scenarios and guided exercises, the session connects personal growth with professional expectations, emphasizing the importance of ortho-proxy (right action) alongside ortho-doxy (right belief)

Day 2:

Human Trafficking (4 Credit Hours): This 4-hour course on the fundamentals of human trafficking will guide participants through MN laws and criminal elements and then using those laws to provide strategies for identifying and investigating these cases. The course will cover victimology, interviewing strategies, evidence collection and putting those pieces together in the formation of an investigation. The course will provide real content from recent investigations to articulate the identification and investigative process. This course is designed as an introduction to human trafficking cases for patrol response and proactive policing.

Use of Force in Practice: Tabletop Scenarios Based on Recent 8th Circuit Case Law (4 Credit Hours): This four-hour interactive training provides law enforcement professionals with a practical, scenario-driven understanding of modern use-of-force law through analysis of recent United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit decisions. Moving beyond lecture-style legal updates, this course uses structured tabletops and decision-making scenarios to place officers in real-world situations derived from actual appellate cases. Participants will examine how courts evaluate officer conduct under the Fourth Amendment’s objective reasonableness standard and evolving qualified immunity analysis, emphasizing totality-of-circumstances review and pre-seizure decision-making. Each scenario is grounded in actual appellate rulings, allowing officers to understand how courts interpret officer actions after the fact — and how policy, training, and articulation can shape legal outcomes.
