Law enforcement agencies face ongoing scrutiny, and a single incident can bring national attention. Now is the time to ensure your use of force policies are not only up to date but also aligned with Constitutional Policing principles and accreditation standards. Relying on accreditation manuals for updates is not enough—agencies must be proactive in reviewing and revising policies to reduce liability, improve officer safety, and maintain public trust. Join Attorney Joseph Race for a practical discussion on current accreditation requirements, policy best practices, and strategies for determining when and how to update your department’s use of force policies.
Our training experts recommend this course for all officers, ranks, and command staff.
