Police Courtroom Skills Training - Witness Familiarisation Reviews

I believe this course is an integral part of policing. We complete a number of training sessions on getting a case to court but then almost no training on what to do when you are called to give evidence. I feel that without this course we can only expect that cases are lost because of a lack of knowledge which can be picked apart by trained solicitors.

An experience! But was very worthwhile training, showing our mistakes in safe space.

This was good, but wasnt ideal that the scenario in which we were in the box about wasnt realistic because we wouldnt be questioned on that. It would be useful to have a more relevant situation, however was really useful to learn the tips and tricks.

Very relevant training. Richard is an experienced professional who was personable and engaging.

Really good course and input which helped to settle nerves. Learning defence tactics helps with remaining calm and knowing how to deal with it.

Great course and would fully recommend for it to continue on the DC course

The interactive part of the course where a mock court environment is probably the most valuable as as a participant the experience will help but conversely watching the process as an observer has massive value to to pick up on the tools and methods used by the defence and be able to process and hopefully combat these in court.

I found the course very useful and the trainer was very engaging

Very good information and Rhoda was brilliant

Was a very good course and probably the best course that I have been on within the police and it is nice to have the input as this is something that isn't really covered anywhere else.
