Welcome to the CALEA Use of Force Standards Update training course. This course will explore the use of force accreditation standards that are part of every law enforcement accreditation process, whether CALEA or state accreditation. However, rather than focusing on the incident itself, we will focus on the issues following the incident itself. We will examine accreditation standards and reporting requirements – including how we document de-escalation, the administrative review process and the annual analysis. Additionally, we will discuss new use of force technologies and how these fit into the accreditation standards, even if the standards haven’t yet caught up to the technology.
This course will also focus on areas including:
- Post-incident reporting and documentation
- Accreditation standards and compliance
- Integration of new technologies
Our training experts recommend this course for all officers, ranks, and command staff.
