The Stakes Are High
Reports of criminal prosecutions—and convictions—of public safety employees for non-firearm-related confrontations are on the rise. Civil lawsuits targeting agencies, administrators, and individuals are becoming more frequent and costly. In today’s rapidly evolving public safety landscape, it is crucial to stay ahead with the latest strategies, technologies, and legal safeguards. With the advent of artificial intelligence (AI), there is no excuse for lacking comprehensive written policies, up-to-date lesson plans, competency assessments, and regular updates on non-firearm-associated in-custody deaths.
