Inmate Manipulation can be the most dangerous part of a correctional officer’s career. Inmates have nothing to lose by luring an officer into their tangled web of games. This one mistake can ruin an officer career as well as put the entire facility at risk for officer assaults, escapes and inmate deaths. Couple inmate manipulation with how a Correctional Officers manage the inmate within their span of control and our correctional facilities can be a time bomb waiting to explode. By using Influential skills to help guide how we interact with inmates it is certain garner a safe and secure facility.
This class will explore some of the tactics used by the inmates we deal with day in and day out and educate or even refresh officers in the dangers of falling victim to the inmate’s game of manipulation. It will also allow correctional officers to explore new a management styles known as Correctional Influence. The management style will help officers shift away from totalitarian environment to positive influential environment.

Legally Justified But Was it Avoidable - THIS CLASS IS POSTPONED TILL FALL
2021-03-10 08:00 - 17:00 | Delta College, University Center, MI, 48710, United States
THIS CLASS IS POSTPONED TILL FALL
A crucial question at the core of every use of force incident is this:
Was it avoidable? This course helps you make that decision.

The 1989 the Graham v. Connor case established that the moment an officer uses force is all that matters when determining if it was objectively reasonable. Further it determined that the moment could not be judged “with the 20/20 vision of hindsight.” In other words, how that moment came to be matters not, only what was happening during it.
That said, this legal doctrine does not (and should not) preclude officers, trainers and supervisors from examining cases with that 20/20 vision. With a goal of avoiding the avoidable, we should look backward from the moment force was used and honestly assess whether the officer, by action or lack of action, contributed to its ultimate need.
Legally Justified; But Was it Avoidable analyzes dozens of recent use of force videos and focuses on the totality of the interaction. We dissect the behavior of the offender and more importantly, the thoughts and behavioral processes of the officer(s) involved. Specifically, we consider if poor or ill-advised tactics, ineffective communication, a lack of personal control and/or a misunderstanding of acute stress led the officer(s) to escalate the event unintentionally and unconsciously.
In this course we will discuss:

Force: Can it be avoided? How? Can it be?
Powerful research: how stress breaks down your ability to process information
Handling pressure at the pivotal moment
Did poor tactics contribute to the need to shoot?
Don’t throw fuel on the fire! Controlling the inner “idiot”
The overall goal and how stress diverts from that mission
Slowing things down can be your most powerful tactic
A hard look at the reason mistakes are being made
Cognitive deterioration leads to “Decision Decline”
Avoiding Behavioral and Content Loops
The Power of Mid-Event Disengagement

Legally Justified But Was it Avoidable
2021-09-23 08:00 - 17:00 | PIX Theatre, 194 W. Nepessing Street, Lapeer, MI, 48446, United States
A crucial question at the core of every use of force incident is this:
Was it avoidable? This course helps you make that decision.
The 1989 the Graham v. Connor case established that the moment an officer uses force is all that matters when determining if it was objectively reasonable. Further it determined that the moment could not be judged “with the 20/20 vision of hindsight.” In other words, how that moment came to be matters not, only what was happening during it. That said, this legal doctrine does not (and should not) preclude officers, trainers and supervisors from examining cases with that 20/20 vision. With a goal of avoiding the avoidable, we should look backward from the moment force was used and honestly assess whether the officer, by action or lack of action, contributed to its ultimate need. Legally Justified; But Was it Avoidable analyzes dozens of recent use of force videos and focuses on the totality of the interaction. We dissect the behavior of the offender and more importantly, the thoughts and behavioral processes of the officer(s) involved. Specifically, we consider if poor or ill-advised tactics, ineffective communication, a lack of personal control and/or a misunderstanding of acute stress led the officer(s) to escalate the event unintentionally and unconsciously. In this course we will discuss:

Force: Can it be avoided? How? Can it be?
Powerful research: how stress breaks down your ability to process information
Handling pressure at the pivotal moment
Did poor tactics contribute to the need to shoot?
Don’t throw fuel on the fire! Controlling the inner “idiot”
The overall goal and how stress diverts from that mission
Slowing things down can be your most powerful tactic
A hard look at the reason mistakes are being made
Cognitive deterioration leads to “Decision Decline”
Avoiding Behavioral and Content Loops
The Power of Mid-Event Disengagement
