Reasonable Suspicion Deep Dive is the focused mini course on the Terry v. Ohio standard that authorizes investigative detentions. Built for working officers who want to master the articulation of reasonable suspicion across every contact.
The course is organized around two lessons. An introduction that covers the foundational case and the structure of the standard. And a deep dive into the building blocks (time, location, behavior, informant tips, officer training and experience), the writing techniques (the word because, specific over generic), and the limits (never rely on protected categories).
After completing this course, you will be able to recognize reasonable suspicion when it exists, articulate it in your reports, build the building blocks systematically, and stay clear of the protected-category lines that destroy cases.
