In many cases, education often truly starts AFTER one gets his or her high school or college degree and enters the workforce. Perhaps, that is truer in law enforcement than most career choices. No academy can provide a recruit all knowledge and tools that he or she can, ultimately, only get from experience on the street.

Overview

This important new AI-generated update deals with critical information regarding the stop of George Floyd. It includes vital information on the three important prongs officers must know regarding the U.S. Supreme Court ruling Graham v. Connor.

Overview

There is zero doubt that when crises and emergencies strike, law enforcement officers are the first on the scene; invariably and virtually always prior to the arrival of e.m.t.’s, medical assistance, and/or fire. A growing movement among some in law enforcement believes strongly, because of that very reason, officers should have a variety of medical-delivery skills and equipment at their disposal. As Dr. Andrew Dennis, head trauma surgeon at Cook County Hospital in Chicago points out, there are almost an unlimited number of reasons officers should receive that additional training. This important program, an exclusive production from In the Line of Duty, explores those reasons. It’ll be up to you to determine the potential value of everything you are about to see and hear. Dr. Dennis makes some very powerful points. Keep an open mind.

An Alabama officer, whose dream from childhood was to become a cop, had his dream shattered when he is knifed to death in a jail sally port after a missed pat down. The tragic events of that day all began at a Dollar General store and a bizarre attempt at robbery by arson. Veteran officers said they had never seen anything like it. The incidents of that day ended as a tragic lesson on why you can never be too careful.

Law enforcement officers are often in situations that mere mortals could only imagine, or, perhaps, would not want to imagine.  There can and will be life-and-death situations, and sometimes such decisions need to be made in mere seconds or even fractions of seconds. However, officers are also placed in potential life-and-death situations that allow them to slow things down and truly make choices that can impact lives.

In Part II, corrections expert Gary Cornelius provides viewers and students with vitally important information related to how cons and criminals use social media to try to get over on law enforcement both inside and outside penal institutions. Gary points out that “..cell phones are better than gold…” to criminals, because they provide a window to not only the outside world but also provide huge opportunities for them to communicate with others also in incarcerated settings.

Every veteran corrections officer or cop knows that criminals have a different mindset than those who obey laws and try to live normal lives. Criminals learn very early how to lie, cheat, and deceive and feel most who lead their lives by the law are “chumps”. Law enforcement has to know they are dealing with people who were “running the streets” at night as young offenders while the majority of people were in bed sleeping, preparatory to the next day’s school or workplace.

In Part II of our series on toxic workplaces, you’ll be given still more valuable information on how do deal with these extremely vexing, complex, and thorny issues that, honestly, can become the primary reason(s) officers leave a given department or may even leave the law enforcement profession entirely. Again, we enlist the services of superb retired officers who have more than 120  years of law enforcement expertise on this critical issue.

In this pioneering two-parter, one of the most crucial issues law enforcement officers will ever have to deal---IS dealt with as never before. No, it’s not the many challenges of the street and putting cuffs on criminals or putting a bite on crime. It’s the innumerable challenges all officers will encounter in their offices, precincts, districts, stations or hq’s.

It is widely felt Artificial Intelligence will have an impact on virtually every career path in existence and, indeed, already has in many instances. It absolutely includes law enforcement. This pioneering program featuring, perhaps, the most knowledgeable AI expert in law enforcement, will underscore that.
