Class Description

Course Description:

Narcotic investigators are faced with a challenge and dynamic assignment of proactively targeting individuals involved in the illicit manufacture, distribution, and/or possession of narcotics. Oftentimes, investigators are assigned to a narcotic unit and receive limited training. This can inadvertently lead to critical errors in various aspects of narcotic-related investigations. This five-day training course will properly prepare officers with the tools they need to successfully conduct a narcotic investigation. Officers will receive in-depth training on common street drug identification, paraphernalia, cutting agents, current prices, and terminology.

Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to:

  1. Identify commonly abused illegal narcotics and abused prescription drugs
  2. Recognize cutting agents and drug paraphernalia
