This 2-day program presents a unique instructional method to reinforce learning about critical constitutional policing matters. Rather than the passive learning method associated with a traditional lecture-based training class, this program encourages, in fact requires, each student to be an active participant in the learning process. The instructor will actively guide the discussions through thought-provoking questions and counterarguments. At the end of each discussion session, the instructor will provide the proper doctrinal underpinnings, supported by the relevant caselaw, for the appropriate resolutions to the questions presented in the scenarios. Helping officers avoid the likelihood of evidence suppression and reducing individual and organizational liability exposure.
Some issues covered:
• Which areas and interests receive Fourth Amendment protection
• How to assess the reliability and utility of information received from informants
• The nature of reasonable suspicion and probable cause
• The scope of, and basis for conducting, searches incident to arrest
• The grounds for warrantless entry into residential premises
• Distinguishing between “curtilage” and “open field” designations of real property
• Application and limitation of the plain view doctrine of warrantless seizure
• The validity and scope of consent searches
• The contours of the automobile exception
• Defining the “custody” and “interrogation” requirements of the Miranda rule
• And much more!

Zach Miller is a police legal instructor, specializing in the constitutional law of policing. He provides training seminars to law enforcement officers, from recruits at the basic police academy to executive staff and all ranks in between. He is also regularly asked to provide his training to prosecutor groups. Zach is well-versed in all of the substantive and procedural aspects of constitutional law as it pertains to policing and is highly-sought after for his training and advice on these matters, providing his expertise to officers and agencies in over 40 states.
Zach served as a police officer for a medium-sized county police department in Virginia for 19 years, retiring in 2023. Beginning in 2013 and until his retirement, he was the department’s training manager. In that role, he was responsible for overseeing all aspects of the department’s training function, which included recruit, annual in-service, specialized unit, leadership, and instructor development programs. He was also a member of the department’s policy review committee where he personally drafted many of the department’s high liability policies.
For over 15 years, Zach has worked closely with nationally-recognized career police attorney Randy Means on dozens of projects, most of which directly involved constitutional policing principles. Together, they developed and presented training programs, provided advice and other consultation services to agencies involved in litigation over potentially unconstitutional practices, developed agency-specific policies and procedures for high-liability operations, co-authored numerous articles on constitutional policing and collaborated on their 2023 book, Constitutional Policing in the Era of Accountability.
