Feedback received. Thank you!
The duty to intercede when observing excessive force or otherwise unethical or illegal member behavior has long been a bedrock component of public safety policy. But how should the duty to intercede be managed in correctional facilities? Is it enough to intercede in an obvious ongoing use of force situation? What if members do not recognize a deficiency because their agency – formally or informally – has normalized practices that deviate from the rule? An organizational culture founded upon the proper application of the Five Organizational Pillars – People, Policy, Training, Supervision and Discipline – and an understanding of proper root cause analysis can identify latent issues lying in wait and improve the safety of both your corrections offficers and incarcerated persons. Using the duty to intercede as a management tool to mitigate risk can also help preserve the integrity of the organization. This course will use contemporary events as examples to encourage leaders to address issues before tragedy strikes.
