Today every use of force incident is scrutinized frame by frame on a video and judged by untrained individuals creating distrust and false narratives. The use of force analysis, investigation, and training is a complex continually evolving issue. This 2-day training session is designed for Police Leaders who, review, report, instructor investigate police use of force incidents. The training will examine the most recent and up-to-date issues that specifically impact command level, 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, curriculum design, use of force reporting, tracking and trending, or investigating incidents involving police use of force encounters. Instruction uses lectures, demonstrations, and case studies. One improper technique changed the county.
