There is a need for
change in how officers report and document their force responses.
Our cops overwhelmingly respond with reasonable force--in fact, there
may be no industry in the world with such a high quality work product.
However, when it comes to writing the reports and documenting their
proper conduct, many officers have been trained to cut corners and
remain vague in their reporting efforts. Additionally, many
officers just don't want to take the time that's required to write the
report they need to assist in defense of their actions. The
trouble is, things have changed, including the standards for reporting
have changed. Plaintiffs and their highly trained attorneys and
clever experts take advantage of officers and their agencies who
achieve proper conduct in the field, but fail to document their force
responses adequately in order to prove that proper conduct.
This course meets and exceeds this need.
This dynamic course prepares your veteran officer to meet the most
stringent and highest standards of reporting and documenting any force
response. The "Reporting and Documenting Police Force Response"
course provides your officers with the latest standards of reporting
their responses to suspect aggression and defense. This includes
directly addressing federal, state, and policy requirements and
considerations within the report. We provide your officers with
general reporting needs and specific reporting components that will
provide an adequate defense of your officers' actions.
Additionally, commonly missed evidence and ways of collecting and
preserving it at the patrol level is reviewed.
This is a
comprehensive class that finally puts all of the lessons together with
a practical exercise where the participants actually write a force
response to standards, showing what is needed when a Threshold Event
occurs. This course will change how your officers do business
following a force response.
