About Use of Force Training
While these occurrences are rare relative to the overall number of interactions between citizens and the police, incidents involving use of force occur daily throughout the country. Use of Force training uses real scenarios to help define and explain these types of incidents. Throughout each video-based lesson, an onscreen instructor highlights research on the topic and previous court cases involving the use of force. This includes areas of focus such as when force is appropriate, post-incident procedures and documentation. In addition to explaining cases of use of force, the course offers best practices to help officers minimize risk and liability. Frequent study exercises also test for comprehension to ensure lessons resonate with individuals. Once they complete the 1-hour course, personnel must pass an end-of-course exam to receive credit.Use of Force Course Outline
