Confronting Critical Gaps in Force Reports & Investigations: FREE WEBINAR


FR

The power of report writing—a task often considered boring, laborious and annoying—can’t be overstated.

 

An officer’s extremely detailed explanation of what happened in a force encounter, why it happened, what officers didand didn’t do and why can have a profound impact on whether the officer and agency face catastrophic consequences (including the officer’s loss of freedom!) or whether the force is found to be necessary, understandable and justified.

 

In this FREE Webinar, sponsored by Vector Solutions and hosted by Calibre Press, nationally recognized use of force experts Jamie Borden and Jim Glennon will discuss:

  • How assumptions, perceived irrelevance, and the misunderstood value of details can destroy reports, cases, careers and even officers’ freedom.

  • Conditioning officers to go beyond why they used a certain level of force to why they DIDN’T use another level of force (“Why a gun, not a TASER?”)

  • Understanding that the need to use force is not self-evident to investigators. It must be explained thoroughly by the officer.

  • Explaining why what you saw as an officer may differ from what your body cam captured.

  • Ensuring your supervisors and investigators are trained to review/investigate use of force reports.

  • How investigators can ensure their findings are as complete, clear and fact-finding as possible.

  • How leaders can educate educating officers on writing excellent reports.
