Legal and Justifiable Use of Force by Jeff Pavletic

This may be one of the most important classes that you attend or that you have officers attend.  Getting this wrong can mean your job, your career, your pension or your freedom or heavy lawsuits against you and your agency, or combinations of the above.  Not only you, are you going to get it right when you arrive and a private person has used force in one way or another.  How about when YOU are off duty or at home?  Here are some topics that will be discussed.  You do not want to miss this folks. 

Qualified Immunity, what is it and what you should know.  Use of Force in Defense of Persons, Excessive force used during an arrest.  Self Defense, what is it and who gets to claim it?  Use of force in defense of a dwelling.  How that pertains to you as a police officer.  Necessity of Force.  People vs. Suerth.  By law, peace officers have to submit to drug and alcohol testing in an officer involved shooting situation.  What can you expect? Use of force in defense of other property, Use of force by aggressor and many, many more.  This is absolute must have material. 

Jeff will also go over case laws and how they need to be applied right here in your jurisdiction.  This will be a great class, I look forward to seeing a packed room.
