Response to Resistance in Modern Policing will prepare officers to communicate, de-escalate, and use proper use of force tactics when interacting with non-complaint individuals.
Officers will be engaged with a combination of classroom discussion, lecture, videos, and case law study. Following the classroom instruction, participants will utilize realistic simulator based training that will include realistic role-playing exercises. This will enable officers to make reasonably appropriate, practical, and defendable decisions when faced with resistance. Officers will learn how to better maintain their safety and prevent possible exposure to liability that may impact their personal well-being and professional careers.
Goals and Objectives: Response to Resistance in Modern Policing is designed to enhance officers' communication, de-escalation, and decision-making abilities. Officers will have several opportunities to demonstrate and practice de-escalation techniques and use of force options utilizing a scenario-based training simulator.
