This course will provide information useful to investigators, prosecutors and commanders on the protocol the Madison Police Department uses in investigating officer-involved critical incidents. The process explores the initial response, scene management, investigation, command post considerations and legal aspects. The course will also explore the dynamics of deadly force encounters, including the physiological and psychological effects of those encounters on the involved officers. Attendees will learn how those dynamics can affect the subsequent investigation of officer involved shootings. As a added feature, we will feature details from our 1st Officer Involved Shooting that occurred in Madison that was after legislation changed this year regarding investigations of OIS.
