FROM THE BOX TO THE COURTROOM:
Increase the effectiveness and forensic capabilities
of your TASER program
Sponsored by: Fort Worth Police Department and Integrated Forensics Laboratories
This one day course will provide a knowledge base far beyond typical instructor and forensic courses, providing perspectives from both the patrol officer and the forensic scientist with a combined 37 years experience. Our course is designed to consider the full gamut of the less-lethal tool: from selection, testing, training, deployment, documentation, and post event analysis to increase field effectiveness and reduce department liability. In addition, a current study on the aspects of Excited Delirium will be discussed highlighting a program in the Seattle area that has two documented field saves.
