Jeff Chudwin - Legal and Tactical Issues of Police Use of Force: This block of instruction focuses on the legal and tactical issues of police use of force. Officers will examine and discuss actual filmed police use of force incidents and review officer response from arrival on scene to the application of force: ranging from verbal contact to the use of deadly force. Law, policy, tactics, and training will be examined as well as the aftermath of the incident. The effects of use of force training and field application will be considered from the needs of the patrol officer to the chief administrator.

Steve Ijames: Contemporary Tactical Issues: This block of instruction will provide SWAT team commanders, supervisors, and operators with an overview of contemporary tactical issues, with the primary emphasis being on the concepts, practices, and problems impacting SWAT operations and related litigation today. The course will include the operational and legal analysis of several high profile SWAT
incidents-each of which the presenter was personally involved in, or did the post event critique and then represented the agency during the litigation that followed, with a focus on:
• Problems related to the planning and executing of search warrants, and key issues involving the command/supervisory role in vetting pre-raid intel, knock/notice, and weapons safety status/pointing of
weapons/subject control during such operations
• Barricaded subject and hostage situations-with the primary emphasis on interacting with subjects effected with mental illness

Situational awareness and saving lives through the use of robots – RECON Robotics, Bob Ayre
Today's world has encompassed a need for additional safety through the use of robotics. With the advent of robotic technology there is no longer the quick advancement of teams to charge into a situation that could put them in harm's way. Now they have the capability to see and listen to determine the situation, analyze a strategy that will keep their team and the suspect within a controlled environment.
The use of the Throwbot robots has saved many lives including the officers and the suspect. They have been used within hostage/barricade callouts, narcotics surveillance and finding the locations of the narcotics without putting themselves at risk (meth labs), warrant and welfare checks, under vehicle inspections...
Learning about what is currently available as another tool in the world of today's technology. Demonstrating the use of the Throwbot robots and providing information how they have been used recently by the FBI and other agencies. Discussing the upcoming new technology of UAV's and their use.
