As Corrections Officers we face many incidents where Use of force is the outcome to resolving situations.  Training and practice have evolved over the years relating to what is acceptable relating to Use of Force.  It is our responsibility from the top down to ensure the force we use is consistent with not only our own policies but current case law and industry practice as well.  We will be discussing why Use of Force is one of the top two reasons Jails and Prisons face lawsuits around the nation and current “Best Practices” we can have in place to be successful in defending these legal challenges.
