Since 2016, we have hosted an annual workshop to educate people on the various aspects of police use of force. We have found that the public sometimes has misconceptions about this topic based on movies, television shows, social media and news stories. While it's not meant to be all-encompassing session, this workshop will cover the following areas:
- Overview of Lenexa PD policy and practices that relate to police use of force
- Overview of how Lenexa PD trains and equips officers for force encounters
- Defining “police use of force”, including “deadly” and “less-lethal” force
- Overview of U.S. case law and constitutional authority relating to police use of force
In addition to the workshop, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in realistic scenarios using our firearms video simulator.
This workshop is free but registration is required and attendees must be at least 18 years old.
