Grounded A Subject: Legal, Scientific, Medical, Liability, and Reported Concerns - [including “prone” positioning and restraint]

This is a companion webinar to “Grounding a Subject: Legal, Tactical, and Medical
Considerations.” The webinars are complementary. It is highly recommended you take both.

You have decided to “ground” someone. Now what? Do you want to perform cursory or full searches, apply metallic, plastic, or spit restraint devices, monitor breathing, identify injuries, control the subject, or do something else? Do you know and understand the liability and medical concerns about what you want to do and how they might be career ending? Whether you are new to the field or a seasoned professional, this webinar offers up-to-date information and strategies essential for balancing public safety while protecting yourself from potential liabilities.

Hosted by experts in law enforcement and safety operations, this webinar dives deep into critical topics in which every public safety officer should be well-versed. From understanding the legal implications and medical consequences of grounding individuals to exploring Constitutional amendments that apply in such scenarios, this webinar equips you with invaluable insights.

• Definitions associated with grounded subjects (hogtying, hobble, TARP, etc.)
