Understanding perception-response times is critical to accurately evaluating officer actions during officer-involved shooting (OIS) investigations. This course examines the scientific principles that govern how officers perceive threats, process information, and respond under rapidly evolving conditions. Participants will explore how human performance factors, including reaction time, decision-making under stress, and physiological limitations, affect officer behavior during critical incidents. The course emphasizes the importance of applying objective, science-based analysis when reviewing OIS incidents to ensure fair, accurate, and legally defensible investigative outcomes.
