Excellent information in the mini course

Response to Resistance: The Legal Realities of Use of Force in Modern Policing


Good tactics are vital to law enforcement officers in their efforts to keep our communities safe, but they are just the beginning. This course will provide officers with a greater understanding of use of force case law, allowing them to more effectively recognize the legally-significant factors present when responding to resistance. After taking this class, attendees will also better comprehend the impact of stress on human performance, and both the value and limitations of body-worn cameras. Whether you are a patrol officer, a detective, a supervisor, a prosecutor, or part of your agency's leadership, understanding the legal realities of use of force is integral to modern policing. A superior knowledge of the law will reduce use of force incidents and decrease liability for your agency, empowering officers to provide the highest level of service to their citizenry.

I am a supervisory special agent with the FDA Office of Criminal Investigations assigned to Headquarters. Our office recently acquired your training portals regarding Duty to Intervene and Real World De-escalation. I have been a federal law enforcement officer for 33 years- and I want to express my appreciation for a very well-put-together program. Things have changed over the time I have served in law enforcement and I think your program effectively confronts the issues that we as law enforcement professionals must cope with. I am assigned to headquarters, but some of the things you address (especially in the Real World De-escalation portal) are measures that I can consider practicing with the management of my own staff in the office setting. Again—thank you and thanks for making us better law enforcement personnel!
