Learn the new laws that are causing officers to respond differently and the modern tactics they are using in the field.

This course helps public safety dispatchers understand how recent changes in laws and unprecedented public scrutiny have caused a shift in the way officers respond to calls. We’ll discuss modern police tactics that dispatchers need to know about including disengagement from the mentally ill in crisis, use of force incidents, and more.

In this course, you will:

  • Learn about the new use of force laws
  • Learn why officers are asking for things on the radio that they never asked for before
  • Learn why field supervisors are calling for a disengagement or even a non-response
  • Examine how high-profile incidents have affected the way officers respond
  • Become informed and be an asset to your officers in the field

In recent years there has been a dramatic change in the way officers respond to incidents. Although those officers have each received updated training in things like new laws and modern tactics, most dispatchers haven’t. This 8-hour course was designed specifically to fill that void and help educate dispatchers why their officers may be operating differently than before.
