Welcome to the SCOTUS and Reasonable Interpretation & Officer Created Jeopardy training course. This session explores key Supreme Court rulings and anticipated decisions shaping use-of-force policies, including the SCOTUS review of Barnes v. Felix. Attendees will examine how these rulings define “reasonableness” under the Fourth Amendment and their implications for policy, training, and accountability.
The session also addresses “officer-created jeopardy,” where an officer’s actions before a use-of-force incident create risk. Through case studies and legal precedents, participants will gain strategies to minimize liability, enhance decision-making, and improve tactical practices. Essential for law enforcement professionals seeking to align with evolving legal standards.
This course will also focus on areas including:
- Examine key decisions shaping Fourth Amendment use-of-force standards.
- Understand how pre-incident actions impact liability and outcomes.
- Apply legal insights to improve practices and reduce risk.
Our training experts recommend this course for all officers, ranks, and command staff.
