Force Encounters Analysis: Understanding Human Performance in Critical Incidents

Description:

HUMAN PERFORMANCE KNOWLEDGE MAY BE CRITICAL TO YOUR SURVIVAL.

Force Encounters Analysis goes beyond mere evidence-based training to the level of advanced education, derived from 100+ years of human performance science and research.

The findings delivered in our course material have been directly credited with saving officer lives on the street and preventing officers from being unjustly convicted of criminal excessive use of force.

Human Performance training can help to decrease agency liability through pre-incident risk management and post-incident forensic facts. The expected results are enhanced officer safety, increased decision-making skills, and unbiased force investigations.

YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO FOREGO THIS TRAINING.

COURSE TOPICS:
 How human performance science applies under the Graham Standard of reasonableness.
 Critical incident stress and how to overcome the deficits on performance.
 Decision-making – the types (analytical/recognition-primed), implicit bias, and how to mitigate error.
 Why perceptual distortions & stress may create differences between human memory & forensic evidence.
 Threat perception and an officer’s ability to respond in starting/stopping an action.
 The biomechanics of human movement during an OIS and the ramifications on ballistic impact locations.
 Body cameras as forensic evidence – best practices, potential problems, and evidence-based recommendations.
 Closing the gap between public perception & the truth about UoF issues.
 Introduction to CTI’s Media Kit, which assists agencies in “getting out in front” of a critical use of force incident.
 A centered discussion on the myth of the 21-foot ‘rule’, the PERF report, recent case law, and more…

Who Should Attend
Sworn Officers , Executives & Supervisors, Force Investigators, Police Psychologists,

Course Terminal Learning Objectives:
 Explain how Force Encounters Analysis training can close the perceptual gap between law enforcement and the public on OIS/UOF issues.
 Apply the concepts of error management to a case study to determine the type of performance, type of error, and level of culpability.
 Predict how nervous system components interact to determine different levels of attention.
 Predict the physiological, perceptual, and cognitive factors that affect performance under varying levels of stress in a use of force or OIS.
 Compare & contrast the advantages/disadvantages of body worn camera evidence for evidentiary purposes.
 Predict the level of impairment due to fatigue caused by sleep loss and hours of wakefulness.
 Determine when analytical, and/or recognition-primed decision-making is appropriate and most effective.
 Identify each of the six components of fractionated reaction time in an OIS situation.
 Compute the reaction time for officers and suspects.
 Explain how memory is acquired, stored, and retrieved.
 Complete a comprehensive case study covering all aspects of the course.
