🚨 USE-OF-FORCE LAW IS CHANGING — AND AGENCIES ARE LOSING CASES BECAUSE OF IT
Seven-figure civil verdict exposure
Supervisors being named individually in lawsuits
Criminal prosecution in officer-associated death cases
Policy and documentation failures driving Monell liability
This is not theoretical. This is happening now.
⚖️ WHAT’S AT STAKE FOR YOUR AGENCY
If your agency has not updated training, policy, and documentation practices in the last 12–24 months:
You are exposed to avoidable liability
Your supervisors may be personally at risk
Your force decisions may not withstand current legal scrutiny
Your documentation may be undermining otherwise defensible cases
This program is designed to fix that.
🎯 WHAT YOU WILL WALK AWAY WITH
Participants leave with immediately usable, real-world tools:
Defensible use-of-force documentation practices
Updated legal frameworks applied to real-world scenarios
Command-level strategies for investigations and review boards
Policy and training adjustments aligned with current case law
Practical methods to reduce civil and criminal exposure
👮 WHO SHOULD ATTEND — ALL LEVELS OF YOUR AGENCY
This training is designed for full-agency impact:
Patrol officers
Supervisors (sergeants, lieutenants)
Command staff
Internal affairs / professional standards
Training officers and academy staff
Municipal attorneys and agency counsel
Use-of-force liability is not an individual issue—it is an institutional issue.
👥 WHY YOU SHOULD SEND MULTIPLE PEOPLE
Agencies that send one person gain information.
Agencies that send teams reduce liability.
Shared understanding across ranks
Consistent decision-making
Stronger documentation practices
Better litigation outcomes
