Welcome to the Legal Learning Centre, where FLETC`s lawyer instructors provide additional legal training to current FLETC students and experienced law enforcement officers. If you are a student enrolled in FLETC, these documents can be used as additional resources to complete your legal education. With this in mind, we offer our manual. The 2015 edition contains materials for basic training, higher education and field use. The legal department`s reference work is a complement to the manual. The Additional Resources section contains a wealth of legal information that will help you in your day-to-day operations as a law enforcement officer. We hope in the LGD that the manual can be used by law enforcement students as well as law enforcement officials.
