Liability & Force
Standards Training

Officers meet the use-of-force standard in a courtroom years after they meet it on the street. This training closes that gap: the liability landscape and the force standards, taught by the expert who testifies on both.

For law-enforcement agencies

The Scope

How it is analyzed

Built from thirty-eight years of casework and classroom instruction, and from the expert-witness chair where training failures become verdicts. Scoped agency by agency.
