There is no greater exposure to criminal and civil liability than in the area of the Use of Force, an essential and necessary task that all officers face. In many cases, law enforcement trainers are well-versed in the skills related to use of force or the “how to” deploy force. However, many officers and trainers are not well-versed in the “when to” use force beyond the basic tenets of cases like Graham v. Connor. This course provides attendees with an understanding of the standards of Use of Force and how to arrive at the totality of the circumstances. Attendees will be provided with a framework to bring back to their agency so that officers are empowered through training to make the best decisions on when force may be used, and which force option is proper under the circumstances the officer is faced with.
