Description of the Problem

Tiffin Police Department is a small agency with a very limited training budget. We have had our share of use of force incidents, including an officer involved shooting, in the past year and a half. Although our use of force incidents were lawful we are always looking to improve the quality of decisions that officers make in these critical incidents that require force to be applied. Also we are looking to educate the general public/community on how/why officers have to use force during critical incidents.
Seeking BJA provider to provide on-site training in the area(s) of Use of Force/Legal Updates/Use of Force Report Writing/Decision Making Under Stress/Preparing for the Psychological Aftermath of those critical incidents. In addition, any training to educate the local community in why police departments have to resort to use of force in certain incidents.
