Course detail: Tactical Narcotics Debrief

Course Description 

The Tactical Narcotics Debriefing Course is a unique training program that teaches the art and science of Tactical Debriefings for narcotics-related situations. A Tactical Debriefing is defined as an interview with someone for the purpose of acquiring intelligence information. Tactical Debriefing is a tactically designed and deployed strategic interview conducted by a law enforcement officer(s) with a new arrestee, prison (or jail) inmate, or an offender on probation or parole, for the purpose of obtaining actionable intelligence information and human sources of intelligence (HUMINT). 

The intricacies that make Tactical Debriefing distinctly different from conventional interviews and interrogations are the designed synergistic application of several disciplines. These disciplines, applied in a coordinated fashion (synergy), can be identified, in part, as conventional interview techniques, rapport building, detecting deception, kinesiology, and tactical phraseology. 

The Tactical Narcotics Debriefing course is the combined application of classroom instruction, skill-building exercises, careful evaluation, and practical immersion interviews with human subjects (role players), at a balanced, realistic difficulty level. This training program equips you with the knowledge, skills, and experience to put the techniques into practice right away. 

Topics Included 

  • Tactically design and deploy strategic interviews to obtain intelligence 
  • Applying a designed synergistic application of several disciplines during Tactical Debriefings

The report contains information regarding campus safety and security including topics such as: campus law enforcement authority; crime reporting policies; campus alerts (Timely Warnings and Emergency Notifications); fire safety policies and procedures; programs to prevent sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking; the procedures the institution will follow when one of these crimes is reported; and other matters of importance related to security on campus. The report also contains information about crime statistics for the three most recent calendar years concerning reported crimes that occurred On-Campus; in On-Campus Student Housing Facilities; in Non-Campus buildings or property owned or controlled by the institution or a recognized student organization; and on Public Property within, or immediately adjacent to and accessible from, the campus. The report also contains fire statistics for any fires occurring in an On-Campus Student Housing Facility during the three most recent calendar years.  A paper copy of the report will be provided upon request.
