Returning to In-Person Training: Sovereign Citizens — 2022
In-person law enforcement training returned in 2022 after two years of remote sessions. Astute Synthesis was back at the traffic safety conference presenting on sovereign citizen recognition and encounter tactics — covering how to identify sovereigns before and during a stop, how to respond to common sovereign arguments, and when to call for backup.
The return to in-person sessions was a reminder of what gets lost remotely: the room-wide recognition when an officer says "I had one of those last week." Sovereign citizen awareness training works best as a conversation, and in-person delivery makes that possible.
