Police Liability
This dynamic, fast-paced seminar is the course every police administrator wants, and every police officer needs. Officers routinely achieve proper conduct in the "tense, uncertain, and rapidly changing circumstances" of a force response event, but often fall down on the second half of the job--writing and articulating their proper conduct. This may be that single class that significantly lowers your civil liability exposure in a force response incident. Length: 8-hours
Do you lie awake at night wondering if your officers are going to get you sued? This course provides instantly applicable liability prevention and mitigation "best-practices" based on the latest proven risk management strategies. With the knowledge necessary to achieve proper conduct, along with tools to better supervise subordinate officers’ force responses, you can survive the legal, civil, and political aftermath of a force incident. Length: 8-hours
You are skilled in the first half of your job--responding with force to take a resisting subject into custody. But how about the second half--reporting and documenting your response to the suspect's threatening behavior? This course provide you with up-to-the-minute strategies and methods of liability prevention in an interesting and thought provoking classroom format. Length: 8-hours
This "Pursuit Decision-Making" course is unique. It not only provides you and your officers with the latest pursuit strategies and liability reduction practices, but also gives your officers a better understanding of the causes of what is the single largest accidental killer of police: collisions in a patrol car. This course assists in limiting both the liability of a pursuit, as well as the injuries and deaths caused by this necessary police activity. Length: 8-hours
When an officer is forced to shoot a suspect, he or she enters into a process that few officers really understand. This course protects your officer and agency by comprehensively detailing the entire process, from the moments before the shooting until the final civil appeal, and the standards of proof needed to navigate the system. Knowing the standard of proof at each level of the system provides administrative, criminal, and civil protection to your officers, supervisors, police managers, and command staff. Length: 8-hours
Clearly explain why your officer either met or did not meet the reasonable officer standard in any level of force response. A court-tested "Force Response Evaluation Formula" assists you in this vital task. Length: 4, 6, or 8-hours
Corrections Force
Corrections Officers routinely achieve proper conduct in "tense, uncertain, and rapidly changing circumstances" in force response events. This course helps you understand the limits to force within a correctional setting, and the current standards of comprehensively reporting, as well as commonly neglected physical evidence necessary to prove your reasonable actions--all with a corrections focus. Length: 8-hours
Do you lie awake at night wondering if your corrections officers are going to get you sued? This course provides instantly applicable liability prevention and mitigation "best-practices" based on the latest proven risk management strategies within the correctional setting. It provides the knowledge required to achieve proper conduct, while providing the tools to better supervise subordinate officers’ force response. Survive the legal, civil, and political aftermath of a force incident. Length: 8-hours
