Police Use of Force:
Less-Lethal Weapons and In-custody Death

Less-lethal weapons have provided important options to law enforcement practitioners seeking
to control violent individuals.  Their utilization, though, continues to raise critical questions about policy, training and outcomes.

On September 29-October 1, 2008, the Institute for Law Enforcement Administration hosted a conference on this timely and important issue.  At this event, attendees had the opportunity to hear from a number of national and international authorities, and to explore a range of issues including:

TASER Deployment and Policies Use of Force Continuum as a Training Tool The Latest Research on Police Use of Force Best Practices in the Use of Less-Lethal Weapons Emerging Medical Issues and Concerns On-the-Street Management of Use of Force Legal Issues Affecting Agencies and Individuals Learning from Police Use of Force Incidents

Many of the sessions at this conference were recorded, and are now available for purchase.  The entire 6 DVD set contains approximately twelve hours of presentations and debates featuring the conference faculty.  Individual DVD's may be purchased separately.
