Police Academy Instructor | Criminal Justice & Search/Seizure

Evan S.

I am an active Florida municipal law-enforcement officer, Field Training Officer, acting supervisor, and part-time police academy instructor with an M.S. in Law Enforcement and Public Safety Leadership. I also hold a Florida CJSTC General Instructor Certification and am a Blue to Gold Certified Search & Seizure Instructor.

Since 2024, I have taught law-enforcement academy students in Interviewing & Report Writing, DUI Traffic Stops, and legal topics as assigned. I also develop scenario exercises, case-law discussions, report-writing activities, knowledge checks, and individualized feedback for adult learners.

My tutoring focuses on understanding and application rather than memorization. I help students identify the controlling rule, work through the relevant facts, explain why the rule applies, and articulate a clear conclusion. Depending on the subject, we may use hypotheticals, scenario questions, case-law analysis, report-writing exercises, or targeted review.

I can assist with criminal justice coursework, Florida law-enforcement academy preparation, SOCE conceptual preparation, criminal law and procedure, Fourth Amendment/search and seizure, reasonable suspicion, probable cause, interviewing, report writing, legal articulation, and criminal justice academic writing.

I previously worked as a university writing specialist, providing both online and in-person academic coaching. My goal is for students to leave each session able to explain and apply the material independently. I do not provide legal advice or protected exam questions.
