Since 2004 Police Technical has set the standard in technical training for law enforcement.  After successfully providing training to thousands of personnel across North America, we need additional instructors to expand our course offerings.

If you have law enforcement or military background, technical expertise, a history of excellence in training, and the ability to travel we’d like to hear from you.

Instructors are needed to teach in the following technical areas:

  • Microsoft PowerPoint
  • Microsoft Word and Adobe PDF
  • Intelligence Applications
  • Internet Applications and Investigation, Facebook and Google desirable

Instructors should be available to teach nationally, at least 2-3 days a month (or more), scheduling is flexible.  Pay commensurate with experience. Police Technical will provide assistance in course development, scheduling, marketing, and logistic support.

Police Technical courses make positive differences in our students, if you’d like the opportunity to share this experience we want you to join our team.

Police Technical Instructor, Wayne Nichols and Mountain View Police Department, Pete DeLaOssa (L) at Google HQ

On March 19-20, 2012 Police Technical offered Wayne Nichol’s Craigslist Investigations course at Google’s Headquarters in Silicon Valley (Mountain View, CA).

Wayne did a great job instructing multiple agencies (and Google personnel) from Northern California about investigating criminal activities on Craigslist.

Google was a fantastic host; opening their doors and providing us with a great training room and offering our students and staff lunch at their world class lunch buffet.  The Kobe Cheeseburgers got 5 stars.

And a special thank you to Mountain View Police Department’s (CA) Pete DeLaOssa.  Pete’s work behind the scenes laid the framework for the success of this class.

Police Technical provides hundreds of technical classes each year to law enforcement personnel throughout the US and Canada.  If you would like us to train in your area, please go to the Contact Us section, and let us know how we can assist your department or agency.

We provide training two ways:  (1) As an In-Service, when a course purchased outright by a single department or agency for their personnel. (2) As an Open Registration course, when a host agency provides a training location and marketing support for a class to be attended by personnel from multiple surrounding agencies; in exchange for the classroom and marketing support, the house agency can receive up to 4 free seats in class.

Reality to be “Augmented”

  By Thomas Manson | April 5, 2012 - 10:45 pm | About Us

Google’s “Google Glasses” are one of the better looking versions of augmented reality, or the ability to superimpose computer generated data onto a user’s field of vision. Combined with facial recognition, this service would minimize on of law enforcement’s biggest obstacles, namely: Identification.

An officer with the ability to verify a subject’s identity (and their criminal history) simply by looking at them will have a distinct advantage over current practices. Add the ability to digitally record the entire interaction and the Google Glasses device would certainly be more effectively than the inexpensive single purpose pocket video cameras currently used in the field.

Police Technical recognizes that as the appropriate technologies converge (high output wireless communication, cloud based software, facial and object recognition, camera miniaturization and increased battery life) augmented reality will occur; whether (or not) it is supplied by a search engine company remains to be answered.
