    The Workshop

    After the Bang: A Roadmap for Personal and Organizational Wellness specific to Officer Involved Shootings : Friday, October 06, 2023 10:30A

    While many will argue differently, the fact remains that most law enforcement officers will never draw their weapon or use deadly force during their career. And in the best of all worlds, because a human life is so precious, an officer ideally, when confronted with the threat of deadly force, should take the time to dispassionately analyze the parameters of the threat and measure his or her response to that a minimum amount of force is utilized and a minimum amount of injury is inflicted.

    In the aftermath of an incident, were there things that could have been done better to diffuse the situation? Participants will be asked to engage in active discussion to determine their perceptions of actions of those involved, how de-escalation could have been improved, better tactical procedures, and approaches to community impact. The presentation is based upon the presenter’s personal account of being involved in an on duty fatal shooting. The presenters deadly force encounter will be utilized as a case study.
