RESOURCES
Knowledge is one of the most powerful tools available to law enforcement where significant variables require a higher level of macro-cognitive performance. As a result, we developed a myriad of recognition models and practical guides that examine the relationship between experience, variable and pattern recognition and human factors/performance in modern day policing.
Examples of these models - developed for other agencies to enhance training through recognition, promote critical thinking and improve communication and decision-making skills in service to their communities - are available to you below.
COMPREHENSIVE CASE LAW ON POLICE OFFICER AUTHORITY & ABILITIES
A structured examination of landmark United States Supreme Court decisions that define the legal boundaries of law enforcement authority — covering investigative stops, searches and seizures, use of force, and the protection of individual constitutional rights under the Fourth Amendment.
RECOGNITION PRIME DECISION MODELS (RPDM)
32D / 34D DOMESTIC BATTERY
& DISTURBANCE RESPONSE
A structured, three-phase operational framework for patrol officers responding to domestic battery (32D) and domestic disturbance (34D) calls. This model integrates situational awareness, information gathering, and decisive law enforcement action to ensure officer safety and lawful resolution.
PERIMETER ESTABLISHMENT
& HIGH-RISK PROTOCOL
A tactical field guide for law enforcement officers and dispatch supervisors. This presentation covers the full operational cycle — from initial BOLO broadcast to perimeter discipline and high-risk vehicle protocols — using proven, officer-safety-focused procedures.
TRAFFIC STOPS
A structured, three-phase operational framework for conducting safe, professional, and legally sound traffic stops. Designed to guide patrol officers from initial
observation through final disposition — with officer safety, situational awareness, and sound judgment at every step.
RESPONDING TO MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS CALLS (Code 43)
A structured framework for law enforcement officers to gather information, assess the scene, and take deliberate action during mental health crisis response — balancing officer safety with effective de-escalation.
