LAW-ENFORCEMENT TRAINING OPPORTUNITY - OFFICER-INVOLVED SHOOTINGS: RESPONSE AND INVESTIGATION - 1 DAY TRAINING
This course is designed to give law enforcement a clear understanding of how to effectively respond to and investigate Officer- Involved Shootings (OIS). These incidents are critical in policing because of their impact on the involved officers, the agency, community trust, and public perception. A thorough investigation ensures accountability, promotes transparency, reduces the risk of civil liability, and provides valuable insight for policy and training improvements. How an OIS is handled often reflects directly on the organization and its leadership. Students will gain a comprehensive overview of the OIS response process. Key topics include the importance of body-worn camera footage, proper investigative steps, officer interviews, liability considerations, and the need for accurate field statements. By the end of the course, participants will have a stronger grasp of their pivotal role during an OIS and the lasting impact these investigations have on officers, agencies, and communities.
