Helping to Build a Strong Foundation for Law Enforcment Trainers
Pictures Speak to Us
Images work great with cops & cadets and they serve as another method to make a connection. They make the message much more powerful than with text alone. Vision is our most powerful sense making it imperative to design your slides using pictures. People identify and remember picture much better than words, and you would be hard pressed to find a topic that a relevant picture isn’t available for.
Law enforcement related pictures are available by the thousands on the web. One of the best collections of police relevant images is at your own agency. There really is no reason not to use a picture to engage your audience.

We are all naturally drawn to images. Photos allow you to add emphasis to your slides, and as long as they’re relevant to the topic they won’t be distracting. Don’t just stick a picture on a slide to fill a blank spot as a decoration, but make sure it has meaning and purpose within your presentation. For even more impact fill the entire slide with your photo allowing no background to be seen around the edges. You can add some simple text over the photo, or leave it to stand alone.
Photo Software
With PhotoPlus X4, anyone can turn good photos into great pictures. The easy-to-use tools and features make it possible for everyone to edit and enhance images, even if you’ve never done it before. Serif offers video tutorials so there is no need to read an instruction manual.
This amazing photo editing software can help you fix old and damaged photos, adjust lighting, or get creative with filters, effects, and brushes. It has impressive compatibility, allowing you to open, edit and export all popular image file types.
PhotoPlus X4 makes editing, enhancing and organizing your digital pictures as easy as it should be. Serif is the only software I use whether editing for a slide show, the Police Instructor book, or the LEOtrainer website. It does it all.
Like Wondershare, Serif now gives back part of every purchase made through the LEOtrainer website to help support our mission to benefit law enforcement instructors.

The sub-pages throughout this section are filled with law enforcement related pictures that can add realism to your slide shows and presentations.
Visuals can create a compelling experience for your learners and serve as a powerful method to enhance your stories. The photo to the right of the fastest police car in the world would serve to immediately grab the attention of a cadet class on driving or in-service training for pursuit tactics.
I use PhotoPlusX4 to edit all my images and photos. It can also help you to create visuals. PhotoPlus is the software I used to enhance all the images found in Police Instructor.
All the SPIM (Super Police Instructor Man) visuals you see throughout the website speak to the power of the Serif software. I am a cop, not an artist; it is the software that makes me look good.
If you want to create your own art and visuals for a law enforcement audience I suggest adding DrawPlus to enhance your PhotoPlus. I enjoy the program, but most police instructors will never need this type of software. After drawing SPIM (Super Police Instructor Man) I enhanced him with color using PhotoPlus X4. I used DrawPlus to make him into the 3 Dimensional character at the top of the website. The Police Instructor badge is also enhanced with DrawPlus, but once again it is only necessary if you want to make advanced digital images. There is also a short tutorial available for DrawPlus you can watch.
For most trainers, PhotoPlus will do everything they need, and then some.
