The Supreme Court's decision in Chatrie v. United States will be the most consequential Fourth Amendment ruling on digital surveillance in years — and it directly affects how your agency investigates crime, builds probable cause, and defends evidence at suppression hearings.

We believe that transforming understanding into action starts with access. When the Supreme Court issues a decision of this magnitude, Shield Public Safety Training will not stand on the sidelines and charge admission.

In Chatrie, the Court will likely address, for the first time, whether a geofence warrant — a court order directing Google to identify every cell phone near a crime scene during a specific time window — constitutes an unreasonable search under the Fourth Amendment. The answer wil reshape how law enforcement uses location data, how investigators construct geofence warrant applications, and how agencies respond when that evidence is challenged in court.

In this free, one-hour webinar, Shield PST Founder and President James "Jeb" Brown, Esq. — a Police Legal Advisor and seasoned §1983 defense counsel — will break down:

  • What the Court decided and why it matters

  • The Fourth Amendment framework going forward for geofence warrant applications

  • The third-party doctrine after Carpenter — and where Chatrie fits

  • Probable cause and particularity requirements under the new standard

  • Practical implications for investigators, agency counsel, and command staff

Whether your agency uses geofence warrants regularly or has never applied for one, Chatrie will set the rules of the road for digital location surveillance. Don't miss this timely, practical analysis from a seasoned police legal advisor.
