Specialized Training

The Law Enforcement Skills Training Network has a complete series of specialized programs that are designed to address a wide range of Law Enforcement needs. The Network from time to time adds courses to the curriculum.

All of the programs offered by The Law Enforcement Training Network can be customized to include local or departmental issues that need to be addressed as a part of the training.

Program or class length can be adjusted to meet the training hours or needs of the individual department. Class size also varies due to the subject matter and the need for developing interactivity with the group. As a rule, a smaller class usually translates to more group interaction and enhanced learning. Most classes range from 10 to 50 attendees.

Other topics are available on demand. Our staff will develop a class or program based on the specific needs of an organization. Contact us for details.
