Law enforcement response to suicidal subjects continues to be one of the most difficult police calls. With unclear legal standards, agencies must consider whether to respond, whether to use force, and when and whether to walk away. This class will detail a full range of options, including mental health programs, foundational concepts (like de-escalation), the use of less-lethal options, and an understanding of the law and use of force, to build a full toolbox for addressing these calls. Using examples, participants will leave with the knowledge to help develop policies and training programs that respond in an ethical, legally defensible, and repeatable manner. They will also know when it is appropriate to walk away, use force, or use a tactical team, as well as the consequences of those actions.
