This is a Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) elective Courtroom Testimony & Demeanor online training course for Texas Peace Officers, Jailers, and Telecommunicators.

This course will serve as both an indoctrination for those who have never testified before, and as a refresher course for those who are preparing to testify in some type of court proceeding, such as a trial or administrative hearing, Civil Service hearing, deposition or testimony. This course will familiarize you with the court, basic courtroom procedures and protocols, general rules of testimony as a witness, appropriate demeanor and attire, the impact of providing erroneous or false testimony, and basic techniques for handling a hostile attorney.

Please note, the entire course final exam(s), and course evaluation(s) must be completed in order to receive one (1) hour of course credit.
