There has never been a more important time in policing to make words your most powerful weapon than now!

That being said, this one day seminar does not, in any way, discourage officers from using physical force or even deadly force when warranted. Rather, this seminar specifically addresses every police officers’ ability to be able to detect, interpret and act on a person’s verbal and physical behavior during street encounters. A desperately needed skill that has proven to be a major factor in many use of physical force and deadly force encounters with suspects today. We know that we can never predict, with certainty, how your next encounter is going to go. We can never guarantee anyone from not contemplating flight or fight even if we do everything legally and ethically right. But what we can all agree on in today’s world of policing, is that we are all human. Police officers are not perfect. We can all use another effective weapon to protect us physically and legally. This one just doesn’t go on your gun belt.
