Looking at incidents in a Human Factor way will help in reviewing IAs as an administrator. The instructor (David Blake) was very knowledgeable and credible. This class provided scientific evidence to back up the decision- making officers do in critical incidents and shootings.

A basis of information which should be considered a necessity for use-of-force investigators, supervisors, and administrators to better understand a use-of-force encounter.
For starters, your Force Encounters Analysis was a great class, and I am so glad I took it. This class was like a college level course for peace officers, which I thought was good. There were so many side discussions I could have had with you, had time permitted. The principles taught in this class really need to be applied to peace officer training across the nation, from our academies to ongoing peace officer training, particularly DT’s and firearms training. I have been recommending Force Encounters Analysis to peace officers in my department at any level. Thank you again for your commitment to professionalism in training.
Great class for anyone who supervises L.E. personnel. Great class to help you better understand your own OIS incidents -- why you did what you did, and how to process the info and use it in the future. As a supervisor of the SWAT team it will help me better understand yow stress affects my team.
This course was eye opening! It broke down the science behind the use of force. The methods demonstrated can be used as another investigative tool to give us a better understanding into the use of force. Outstanding course and top notch instruction. I give it 2 thumbs up!
I am a field level officer, and this class touches on a lot of life or death subjects that I may encounter in my career. The course reinforces the need to recognize complacency and mental errors in law enforcement work. Well-versed instructor (Craig E. Geis). All topics were relevant for me.
A truly dynamic speaker (Craig E. Geis) and someone who can break down concepts into useful information for cops and investigators. What topics were especially relevant for me? You could literally place the entire table of contents in this box.
Along with Street Survival, this is THE BEST CLASS I have attended in years. A MUST GO TO class for supervisors all the way up the chain.
Best OIS training I've seen. It's all about the science!
A must for any OIS investigator.
