Minimizing Non-Firearm Officer-Associated and In-Custody Deaths: Contemporary Legal Recommendations, Scientific Findings and Theories, Evidence-Based Techniques, and Tactics for Managing Suicidal and Individuals Experiencing Mind-Body Disconnect
The recent high-profile criminal convictions of Public Safety personnel, along with substantial civil awards to plaintiffs in cases involving officer-associated deaths (O-AD) of detained individuals who were medically or mentally vulnerable (since the 2023 IPICD Conference), underscore the urgent need for Public Safety personnel to participate in this conference. These legal outcomes have validated the IPICD's 2023 warnings: Deaths closely following grounded restraint involving public safety officers are poised to be the foremost legal and training challenges for the coming decade. In essence, this issue can no longer be overlooked or deferred.
These insights, along with other relevant topics, are intended to provide updates for your public safety training, policies, guidelines, and incident reporting procedures. The primary goal is to preserve lives and careers while preventing negative outcomes from O-AD and In-Custody Deaths (I-CD), which can include criminal charges against public safety personnel and costly civil lawsuits that often result in significant financial settlements.
Identification of suicidal inmates begins during the intake and classification. Learn how fast a suicide can take place based upon scientific findings, and how your suicide watch guidelines can be improved to follow the science. Become an "IPICD Suicide Management Specialist" so you can help other identify and minimize the risk of these in-custody deaths.
Career and Technical Education credentials are important, too. Earn your "Abnormal Breathing Instructor" qualification and "Suicide Management Specialist" qualifications by attending and completing their requirements at the 2024 conference. Two qualifications. . . one conference. This conference counts as 1 program credit toward the Americans for Effective Law Enforcement, Inc. (AELE) CLS designation. Reminder: Join the IPICD and save $100 on the conference tuition.
