This course exposes students to Idaho POST approved and required topics regarding the human dimensions of the police profession, including ethics, professionalism, effective communication, health and fitness, first-aid, and crime prevention. Students will gain a basic understanding of federal, state, and local laws and learn how to apply that knowledge as a police officer on patrol through more than 40 hours of basic police law related to the U.S. Constitution and Idaho Codes, rules of evidence, criminal law, arrest, and search and seizure. This knowledge will allow graduates of the program to determine traffic offenses, probable cause for arrest, and how to process criminal cases, while understanding the human element of public service and the importance of mental and physical well being.
