This keynote session examines the concept of “officer-created jeopardy,” where an officer’s actions or tactical decisions prior to a use-of-force incident contribute to the creation of a dangerous situation. The session will explore legal precedents, real-world case studies, and the implications these situations have on the standard of “reasonableness” in use-of-force incidents. Attendees will learn strategies to avoid unnecessary risks, reduce liability, and improve decision-making under pressure. This session is critical for officers, supervisors, and trainers seeking to enhance tactical practices and minimize the legal and operational challenges associated with officer-created jeopardy.
Our training experts recommend this course for all officers, ranks, and command staff.
