On August 26th, 2015 from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. ET, the Smart Policing Initiative (SPI) will present a webinar titled “Less Lethal Technologies for Law Enforcement.” This webinar will be presented by Mr. Charles Stephenson, SPI Subject Matter Expert. This webinar will describe devices/weapons classified as less-than-lethal used by law enforcement departments. Mr. Stephenson will provide a brief introduction to less lethal technologies along with notes on the effectiveness of several devices in use today. He will address the issue of training, policy and what is considered legal use of force in the United States to include a short explanation of rights under the 4th Amendment. He will also provide an overview of the various technologies including existing, newly developed, and future devices. The goal of this webinar is to provide a basic understanding of less lethal technologies and to enhance the knowledge of those who use such devices in the performance of their duties.
