| Attendees will work through a simulated critical incident exercise. |
Critical incidents—such as officer-involved shootings and pursuits ending in death—can turn the world upside down in a matter of moments. The police track at this year’s spring Safety & Loss Control Workshops will focus on the just released LMCIT model policy for handling critical incidents.
The policy was developed as a resource for our membership, as some of our departments have policies in place and others do not. It is a guide that can be tailored to individual departments and not a mandated policy.
The second hour of the workshop will be a table-top exercise where attendees will be able to work through a simulated critical incident and bring the policy to life. A checklist is included in the policy and will be used to assist in managing the incident.
The policy and accompanying planning memo are now available on the League’s website. The memo provides the background, explanations, and options contained in the policy.
The other session in the police track will focus on the procedures for conducting background checks for new officers.
Dates and locations for this year’s Safety & Loss Control Workshops are:
