can employ. In this course, Dr. George Thompson touches on verbal
techniques to reduce conflicts by placing emphasis on an officer’s
vocal tone, pitch, and voice modulation.

aftermath of children convicted of felonies, how they’re incarcerated,
and what guidance can be provided to assist them in the future.

keep law enforcement officers safe while gaining control of a subject.
Explored methods include verbalization, empty hand tactics, and the
use of lethal and non-lethal force with accompanying legal
considerations.

Topics covered include distinguishing excessive versus reasonable force, theories on the causes of excessive force, and responding to allegations of excessive force.

Today’s changing environment requires that officers be vigilant of a
multitude of factors. This course examines discipline, balancing an
