There are many myths surrounding the use of force. This presentation will dispel the myths held by civilians, attorneys and even officers themselves. Attendees will also get an update on what we know about the "controversial" use of force, body cameras, human performance under stress, and the limitations of memory. Attendees will experience demonstrations of their own limitations and see examples of police performance from real-life officer-involved incidents.
