\ Use of Force Review Training |
|
Today every law enforcement and correctional incident involving a use of force is scrutinized by the media and society. It is imperative that agencies conduct a detailed review of every incident which involves any possible use of force or show of force. The media only releases videos which they feel will draw the attention of viewers and increase their views and ratings. Learning to conduct a thorough and detailed analysis of a use of force incident is imperative. A proper use of force review is the first level of liability protection for agencies and staff.
This training session is designed for law enforcement and corrections professionals who are responsible for conducting reviews of use of force incidents. It is also beneficial for supervisors and staff to attend this training as it gives them a better understanding of the need for and benefit of Use of Force Reviews.
Most people believe that we review use of force incidents to identify excessive use of force. That is only a minor part of the purpose for reviewing use of force incidents. One of the most important reasons for reviewing use of force incidents is to know what really happened so you can respond to complaints or accusations, training needs, review of equipment made available to staff, etc. The main reason for reviewing use of force incidents is to ensure officers are afforded the training, equipment and other resources necessary to protect themselves and others while gaining control of a person, group of people or situation to prevent additional harm or damage.
This training will guide attendees through the process of conducting a thorough review of a use of force incident. During the training, attendees will be given an example of a use of force review checklist which will guide attendees through the review.
