Training

Good evening, my name is Christopher Meyerson have been around looking for a good while and reading. I answered a post in regards to weapons, and what I thought was possibly the lack of training in areas such as control and restraint leading to handcuffing which sometimes isn't as sexy as going to the range but it's something that you do on every arrest and needs to be taken quite seriously.

That being said I've been the use of force instructor for a little over seven years I wanted to share a few things with you here in regards to the use of force.

This is how we teach people how to write reports these are the keys that need to be in every report it's the difference between Mr. Smith said he is going to kill me, or Mr. Smith appeared highly intoxicated was yelling and verbally combative stating that he was going to kill me while aggressively coming towards me. When you write your reports you have to understand that the person that will be judging you sitting in that jury box is probably a banker or a teller that is never seen or been a part of a violent confrontation in their lives.

Key report observations should be;

Engagement:
what was the highest for better word mood of the parties present common controlled, he did an unrestrained, actively fighting, was an intoxicant involved.

Behavior
subjects passive, carefree, distanced, emotional, evasive, verbally combative, physically combative, highly intoxicated,{ every person should be identified in the report if the agent is directly involved with any subject involved in a custody condition as well as potential witness.

Action:
the use of verbal skills through confrontational avoidance techniques after assessment of the situation/confrontation.


Let's cover anger there are four types

Indignation:
anger aroused by something unjust unworthy were mean a very common daily forms of anger three levels of indignation nonverbal nonphysical, verbal nonphysical, and verbal and physical

Rage :
a physically file in an uncontrolled anger loss of control from a violence of a motion. Often noncognitive and most responsible type of anger for fights and homicides. Also the most common type for violent behavior.

Fury:
an extremely destructive intents, cognitive anger boiling one madness. This form of anger is often planned and usually successful.

Wrath:
can imply indignation or wage, but less likely to physically punish.
Side note, there are two conditions for the subject can be violent without anger these are medical conditions and psychiatric conditions.


I do hope this is useful information to people here and if I do get some comments back on the information and you would like me to continue I have no problems talking more about the use of force, de-escalation factors such and what we call the latter force or a use of force continuum this is the same latter of force that's used when federal juries are impaneled. Good luck and be safe out there

How do you like the Dragon software? I have it and had to upgrade my computer for the system requirements.

Personally I like the software myself, have been thinking about upgrading to Dragon NaturallySpeaking Legal, unfortunately it's extremely expensive.

Since you seen me type you can understand why this is a worthwhile investment.

It is annoying sometimes because you have to train yourself to speak specifically what you want unlike normal speech patterns but once you get yourself trained to do so it helps me fly through answering e-mails doing reports when necessary and finishing affidavits.

But you do have to proofread everything pretty carefully because sometimes it will exchange words that you didn't pronounce either correctly or within context of what's going on and the computer will or the software will make kind of an assumption of what you are trying to say.

But for the most part Dragon NaturallySpeaking does work even in the legal realm without the legal version there are some words that have to be trained into the system will better but everything takes time.
