Webinar to help officers survive the courtroom

The Prosecuting Attorneys Association of Michigan will present the Traffic Safety Legal Update Webinar “Surviving the Courtroom” on Wednesday, September, from noon to 1 p.m. via Zoom.

Testifying on an OWI case can be a daunting experience whether it’s the first or 20th time.  This webinar will go over what is expected from law enforcement officers on the stand and the steps they need to take to effectively prepare themselves to testify in court on an OWI case.  Other topics will include common OWI defense challenges and how to handle them before and during trial, traits that will help to be in command of the courtroom, and police report writing from the prosecutor perspective.  

This web-based training wil be presented by Kenneth Stecker and Kinga Canike, traffic safety resource prosecutors for PAAM.
