Training Workshop
The UNDERCOVER SURVIVAL TRAINING WORKSHOP is an intensive, and sometimes stressful, review of
narcotic related police shootings. As the lead instructor, I have conducted extensive and in-depth research into
hundreds of investigations, which resulted in violence towards, or assaults against, undercover agents. The findings of my research have been astonishing, when you consider that the vast majority, over 90%, of police shootings (narcotic related), or attempted drug rip-offs, occur as a result of mistakes made by the undercover operatives, the supervisors, or by the surveillance teams. Most of the injuries and deaths to police officers should not
have occurred and in many cases, could have been avoided.
The UNDERCOVER SURVIVAL WORKSHOP is designed to allow students to observe, critique and review undercover operations that culminated with violence against the undercover officer or arrest teams. The cases that
will be presented will be specifically selected for their relevance to the types of narcotic
investigation that are typically conducted by your Officers. Although the training is conducted in a classroom, students will be expected to participate in the discussions and to make cause determinations of the critical incidents
presented. Much of this practical training course will be conducted with computer inter-active
re-enactments as well as actual digital video of “deals that have gone bad.”

Narcotic Search Warrants
The Dangers of Using Dynamic Entries
Dynamic entries should only be used as a last resort; not as the first
option when executing drug related search warrants!
A review of cases from around the United States establishes that many police agencies are moving away from the
use of SWAT team tactics and “dynamic entries” for narcotic related search warrants. Courts have
recently ruled that to utilize a specialized team, deploying “dynamic tactics,” is in essence a use of force. As such,
the decision itself may be unreasonable based upon the totality of the circumstances. Dynamic entry into homes
to simply recover drugs and/or evidence are generally not supported by most subject matter
experts or by an increasing number of progressive, forward thinking law enforcement professionals. Police
commanders and narcotics officers must understand the elements of proper risk management and deploy
tactics that will reduce the threat of violence.
