This is an OSS Academy® Stakeout Operations  online training course offered for Peace Officers, Jailers, and Telecommunicators.

A stakeout is among the most demanding and potentially dangerous of all special enforcement operations. Officers who are assigned to these duties should be experienced, and have demonstrated tactical knowledge, skills, and abilities when performing these or similar assignments. Stakeouts are tactical deployments in anticipation of a crime, or to gather police intelligence. The target persons may be known individuals, or may be suspects known only by their method of operation (MO). The stakeout's purpose is to arrest the suspect(s), or to prevent a crime or terrorist act from occurring.

Please note, the entire course final exam(s), and course evaluation(s) must be completed in order to receive two (2) hours of course credit.
