Law Enforcement

Decisionmaking in law enforcement training is often a "do what I tell you to do" process. Little consideration goes into teaching someone how to think. Even less time is spent on deconstructing the decisionmaking process through a critical thinking evaluation.

Additionally, there are times when officers attempt to mitigate a problem and decide to act because they are there, but may lack the legal authority to act.

Attendees of this thoughtful webinar will be introduced to:

Since 1999, from across the country, approximately 3 million images of cartridge cases and bullets have been collected from crime scenes or test-fired guns have been uploaded into the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN), which allows for the capture and comparison of these ballistic images. When used to its fullest potential, NIBIN can generate timely investigative leads by linking crimes that may have otherwise gone unconnected.

This webinar is a Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) National Training and Technical Assistance Center (NTTAC) quarterly justice community webinar. During this webinar, Captain Cory Nelson of the Madison, Wisconsin Police Department will highlight focused deterrence programs that have successfully and drastically reduced violence associated with the targeted group of high-risk offenders. There will be an opportunity to ask questions at the end of the webinar.
