Street Cop Training has engendered plenty of negative headlines across the U.S., but not every department knows about the controversy.},{ "name":"Editor Picks", "component":"17105533", "insertPoint":"4", "requiredCountToDisplay":"1", "watchElement":".
The police department in Crandall, about 25 miles southeast of downtown Dallas, currently has a Street Cop Training “Interdiction Academy” class scheduled for January 2025. For $299 per person, “he course entails a well-structured curriculum that primarily focuses on crimes pertaining to the transportation of Narcotics, Illicit Currency, Weapons, and Human Smuggling,” the Street Cop website states. Street Cop did not reply to our questions or requests for comment.
After emailing the Crandall PD on Wednesday with questions about their January Street Cop session as well as a link to our May article, we followed up with a call to the department on Thursday. We spoke to Lt. Ivan Elizarraras about where his department stands on allowing Street Cop Training to conduct a class for them in January.
This is the first time that Crandall PD has booked a Street Cop class, and it's unusual for the department to enlist third-party training sessions from anyone. Elizarraras said that most of the training classes his officers attend are arranged through the Kaufman County Sheriff'’s Department.
