Law enforcement agencies face significant challenges when dealing with out-of-control demonstrations or detaining unruly individuals. The use of force to quell these situations can lead to legal disputes and negative public perception, which can harm the agency's reputation. In order to minimize the risk of injury or loss of life, it is crucial for law enforcement agencies to have accurate knowledge and proper training in less lethal options.
Risk Management of Less Lethal Options: Evaluation, Deployment, Aftermath, and Forensics is a comprehensive book that discusses how law enforcement professionals can develop concepts and techniques to increase successful outcomes, manage risk, and limit liability when using less lethal options. The methods presented in this book were developed over a decade of testing, training, evaluating, deploying, analyzing, and testifying related to the use of these tools.
The book covers various topics, including:
The evolution of the less lethal paradigm through the analysis of the outcomes of major incidents.
Categories of less lethal options, including impact, chemical, electrical, and distraction.
Riot-control agents (RCAs), which produce rapid sensory irritation or disabling physical effects that disappear within a short time.
Less lethal impact munitions (LLIMs), which deliver blunt trauma and are designed to minimize injury.
Important factors for developing a successful less lethal training program.
Challenges caused by arrest-related death, in-custody death, and Excited Delirium Syndrome (ExDs).
The use and forensic analysis of conducted electrical weapons (CEWs)/Tasers.
Effective post-event report writing, evidence collection, and court preparation.
Risk management of less lethal options requires a complex, multi-tiered approach. This volume provides law enforcement professionals with guidelines to manage risk from the street to the courtroom when utilizing less lethal options.
By implementing these strategies, law enforcement agencies can better protect public safety, reduce the risk of litigation, and maintain the trust of the community. It is essential for law enforcement professionals to stay up-to-date with the latest research and developments in less lethal options and to continuously train and evaluate their personnel to ensure that they are using these tools effectively and responsibly.
