WEBINAR
What Recent Court Decisions Teach Us About Officer Decision-Making
Recent Supreme Court decisions are changing how officer decision-making is reviewed. The focus is no longer limited to the final seconds before force is used. Courts are looking more closely at the full sequence of events, including pre-encounter tactics, pacing, communication, discretionary time, and the decisions that shape the outcome before a confrontation peaks.
In this webinar, Chief (Ret.) Mike Ranalli will examine how recent rulings affect officer decision-making, qualified immunity, and the duty to intervene. Attendees will learn why legal protection after an incident is not the same as sound field practice, and how a stronger intervention culture can help officers recognize risk, slow momentum, and protect one another before a situation becomes harder to control.
