Inadequate Training - On-Duty & Off-Duty Scenarios

摘要

Inadequate training in deadly force lays the groundwork for costly litigation. Most officers are familiar with some of the cases involving an officer's use of deadly force. However, there appears to be a trend concerning off-duty verses on-duty use of deadly force and training in those concepts. In Brown v. Gray the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals reviewed a case wherein a person had been shot by an off-duty officer. This case involved deadly force and a claim of inadequate training of officers concerning certain department rules and the taking of on-duty versus off-duty police action.
