Use of Force Incidents Through the Eyes
of the Officer Involved
Chris Lawrence
President
ESC Inc.
There are complex dynamics involved in each police use of force
incident. Police have certainly been subject to intense public scrutiny
and criticism by those who view the videos of police action that are
being uploaded to the internet daily. However, what does a use of
force incident look like from the eyes of the officer who shows up at
the scene? Chris Lawrence will explore the psychology behind the
use of force as well as the human factors involved in use of force
incidents, and address factors such as cognitive biases, reaction
times, memory gaps, narrowed vision, and other critical elements.

Lessons Learned from Some Recent Use of Force
Incidents in the U.S. and Canada
Glen Orris
Partner
Orris Law Corporation
Use of force incidents by police have gained international media
attention in recent years. These incidents have raised a number of
concerns for police legal counsel, professional standards officers,
internal affairs, and command level staff. This session will provide
first-hand accounts from legal counsel in some of the most high
profile and controversial incidents in Canada and the U.S over the
past several years.
• The death of Robert Dziekanski at the Vancouver International
Airport (2007), the subsequent commission of inquiry into
his death (Braidwood Commission, 2009 and 2010), and the
perjury trials of four RCMP officers involved in the incident
(2014-2015)
• Grand Jury inquests stemming from police action
11:30
Investigations Involving Video of Police Involved
Incidents
Karen J. Kruger
Partner
Funk and Bolton
There is no question that we live in an increasingly digital world, and
the explosion of citizen video as well as increased use of body worn
and dashboard cameras means that police actions are captured
on camera regularly. This proliferation of video has raised some
ongoing questions about the propriety of officers under investigation
reviewing video footage prior to providing a statement. This session
will discuss the legal issues surrounding the use of “incident video”
during an investigation and will propose some best practices to think
about when developing such policies for your own department.
• Review of various policies on use of video during investigations
• Eyewitness error, memory, perception, and video as
“best evidence”
• Ensuring administration of justice and other legal issues
• Proposed best practices.

Body Worn Cameras
Kristen Mahoney
Deputy Director Bureau of Justice Assistance
The US Justice Department has made substantial investments to
help law enforcement agencies nationwide procure and implement
body worn cameras and make the use of such technology more
widespread. An increasing number of agencies are contemplating
the use of cameras as a means of building public trust in policing,
however, there are many challenges and issues to be considered
before implementing a body-worn camera program. This session will
discuss body worn cameras as tools in building police accountability
and will explore the legal and logistical implications of instituting
body worn and other cameras.
• Body worn cameras as an accountability tool: some thoughts
• Legislation governing the use of body worn cameras
• How to successfully engage the Community throughout a body-
worn camera implementation
• Privacy issues arising out of the use of body worn cameras:
-- How are these recordings being stored
-- Who has access to these recordings
-- Inadvertent footage of third parties
• Lessons learned from jurisdictions who have been using body
worn cameras

Police services are struggling with a legacy of poor relations with
African American and Hispanic communities. Police services must
address the fact that, historically, they were often perceived to be
the primary state agency challenging and resisting Civil Rights, and
are now faced with acknowledging that history and the ongoing
mistrust that it has created. This roundtable discussion will consider
historical and institutional racism in the US, how police should be
working to address this history, and offer suggestions and best
practices for building increasing legitimacy and moving forward.

Anthony Guglielmi
Director of Communications and Media Relations
Chicago Police Department
In an era of heightened media scrutiny, police forces must proactively
build relationships and engage with media in order to effectively
manage external communications. Police must also be cognizant
of the legal issues surrounding these communications, including
the balancing of privacy rights with public safety. This session is
designed to provide police services with the knowledge and skills
needed to successfully communicate both day to day public safety
information, crisis communications following serious incidents, and
will provide advice on how to combat negative public perception.
• Building strong positive relationships with local and
national media
-- Using traditional and social media to promote your
department’s mission, ongoing operations,
and special initiatives
-- Communicating public safety information
• Effective crisis communications following critical incidents
-- Creating media policies for your police service
-- Crafting effective press releases, providing media
interviews, and conducting press conferences
-- Proactively harnessing the power of social media
-- Managing your version of events: combatting the
“Hollywood effect” and public perception of police
• Legal issues stemming from communications and
media relations
-- Best practices for handling FOI requests
-- Balancing privacy rights and public safety: where
is the line between protecting the public and releasing
information?

A Comprehensive and Coordinated Approach
to the Management of Risk in a Police
Organization
George Bush II
Formerly:
DEA Special Agent
Law enforcement, by its very nature, is a high risk business, where
risk can evolve activities ranging from the flow of evidence in a
property room to daily occurrences of patrol operations. In the field,
decisions are being made by relatively young patrol officers in high
stress situations, which are tense, uncertain and rapidly evolving.
This activity alone can expose the agency to various levels of risk,
with diverse consequences, in areas such as vehicle pursuits, uses
of force, arrests and searches. And these events can and do lead
to claims against the agency and, of course, eventual litigation and
payouts.
Unfortunately, law enforcement agencies as a whole do not have
in-house risk managers and generally use long-established and
outdated measures to handle risk and its consequences; they take
a reactive approach to resolve the matter; and then they suffer the
consequences, including financial loss. However, to stay ahead
of the curve, it is necessary for these agencies to move beyond
traditional remedies, by utilizing a comprehensive and coordinated
risk management program. This proactive program includes, at a
minimum, the monitoring of operational trends on a daily basis, the
continual checking of the agency’s vital signs, and the assessing
of work product. The following areas will be discussed regarding
the essential elements of such a successful police-related risk
management system.
• A comprehensive & coordinated risk
management program
• Necessary actions for a risk manager
• The essential elements of an effective risk
management program
• Elements of a comprehensive professional
standards program

Recruitment Challenges Facing Today’s
Police Services
Gwen Boniface
Deputy Executive Director
International Association of Chiefs of Police
The traditional scope of police work has been steadily widening
and now encompasses diverse and demanding functions such
as partnering on national security and re-engaging in community
policing. Concurrently, public mistrust of police is at an all-time high
and police have been the target of much backlash. As a result,
police services across the country are facing a collective challenge
in recruiting and retaining good quality candidates. This session
will provide insights on best practices in attracting, training, and
retaining candidates, from undertaking the initial screening phase
to providing ongoing professional development. It will also help
navigate the legalities of the initial screening process.
• Examining current recruitment practices:
-- Are police services hiring warriors or guardians?
-- New recruits: best practices in addressing generational
differences
• “Professionalizing” police services: changing police attitudes
• Leadership development: how strong, good, informed and
effective leadership can be a force multiplier
• The legalities of the screening and selection process
