Welcome to the Use of Force Concepts and Analysis for Police Leaders and Trainers training course. Today every use of force incident is scrutinized frame by frame on a video and judged by untrained individuals creating distrust and false narratives. Use of force analysis, investigation and training is a complex continually evolving issue. This training workshop is designed for Police Leaders who, reviews, reports, instructs or investigates police use of force incidents and trainers who develop curriculum and training and practices. The training will examine the most recent and up to date issues that specifically impact management, training units, front line supervisors and internal affairs investigators concerning police use of force incidents. This course breaks down multiple issues ranging from daily officer citizen complaints, failure to engage issues, development of quantifiable evidence, curriculum design, use of force reporting, and tracking and trending or investigating incidents. Instruction uses lectures, demonstrations and case studies. Just one improper technique changed the country!
This course will also focus on areas including:
- Addressing investigations, reporting, and supervision through real-world case studies and evolving standards
- Equipping trainers with tools to design effective, evidence-based use of force programs
- Supporting police leaders in managing citizen complaints, failure-to-engage cases, and tracking use of force trends
Our training experts recommend this course for all officers, ranks, and command staff.
