CALEA provided numerous updates to its Use of Force Standards following the national civil unrest and the policy accountability legislation that followed. CALEA was ahead of most police accountability legislation as far as the speed at which it updated their standards in August 2020. These changes, many effective immediately in August 2020, added new requirements which mandated policy changes, training changes and reporting requirements. This course will provide an overview of the CALEA Use of Force standards in general and will specifically emphasize the 2020 standards updates as well as any updates and guidance provided by CALEA since these major changes were implemented.
