Officer Involved Shootings

* Class ends at 12:00 pm Day 3 (October 9)

There is arguably no single event that can traumatize a law enforcement agency, its employees, or the communities they serve, more than an officer-involved shooting incident. The criticism and intense scrutiny generated by the media, the community, and the potential criminal liability for all involved can be overwhelming. Civil judgments resulting from such cases can also equally debilitate a police organization's effectiveness, have an adverse impact on its employees, and erode the community’s trust. It is, therefore, imperative that every police department prepares in earnest for this inevitable eventuality. It is also essential that investigators charged with the task of leading a police officer-involved use of force investigation become equally prepared.

The purpose of this course is to provide attendees with investigative knowledge that is applicable to all law enforcement involved uses of force (lethal and less lethal, hits or non-hits) and in-custody death investigations, regardless of the size of their department, and whether the incident occurred on or off duty. Law Enforcement officer-involved use of force investigations require a unique skill set that is gained through training and experience. The stakes for the involved officers and the departments are so high that it is imperative that the investigations be conducted using industry standards that seek to find the truth of the matter and never compromise investigative integrity. This course will provide those in attendance with the knowledge, skills, and investigative protocols necessary to handle any law enforcement use of force and in-custody death investigations.
