Training your officers to meet your community's expectations should not be difficult or expensive.
Without giving your officers the practical skills they need to thrive in our highly demanding society, it's going to cost you…
Higher Liability
Negative viral videos
More risk of consent decrees
Low officer retention
Loss of public support
Poor agency morale
By subscribing your agency to The Briefing Room, you can provide your supervisors with the contemporary tools they need to develop high-performing teams that lower liability and build community support.
The risk for claims payouts doesn’t have to be left to chance.
Failing to offer your law enforcement clients access to state-of-the-art, professional training is going to cost you…
Increased risk of property, liability and tort claims
Higher costs to the entire membership pool
Larger adjuster caseloads and administrative expenses
Greater workers comp and health claims
Higher legal fees
Risk that your competitors are providing these benefits
Most law enforcement agencies only meet minimum State training standards, which is not adequate to prepare their officers for the incredibly complex job law enforcement professionals perform everyday. Join The Briefing Room and give your member agencies access to the knowledge they need to lower risk and serve their communities in a procedurally just and constitutionally sound manner.
Being a law enforcement officer today should not be so difficult or demoralizing.
Without giving yourself the practical skills you need to thrive in this highly demanding profession, its going to cost you…
Increased exposure to lawsuits
Higher probability of negative viral videos
Exposure to politically motivated prosecutions
Harder to get promotions or specialized spots
Poor quality service to your community
Poor mental and physical health
Taking ownership over your own training, beyond just meeting State minimum standards, is the only successful path forward in today’s highly politicized environment. Join The Briefing Room and give yourself the knowledge you need to build your competence and confidence as a law enforcement professional. By empowering yourself, you’ll understand exactly what society expects of you and how you can best serve your community. Its time to regain your passion for this amazing profession.

The Briefing Room Provides a Solution
The Briefing Room empowers law enforcement supervisors to easily provide leading-edge training to their shift of officers during briefing or roll call. Every training session is designed within our R.I.S.E. Training Block system, containing three powerful components that teach or reinforce one simple concept every day.
1) FOCUSED TRAINING VIDEOS
Professional, evidence-based 90-second training videos produced exclusively for law enforcement supervisors and presented as a story, making the concepts easier to apply to real life scenarios.
2) KEY POINTS WORKSHEETS
Every video is accompanied by a Supervisor's Key Points Worksheet that utilizes the proven principles of Bloom's Taxonomy. This allows supervisors to facilitate follow-up discussions with their shift designed to lead officers from lower-order to higher-order thinking.
3) FOLLOW-UP Resources
All reference material and additional resources are provided for supervisors and officers who want to dive deeper into the topic.

BETTER RETENTION OF CONCEPTS
Hundreds of studies in cognitive and educational psychology demonstrate that microlearning produces superior long-term learning, compared with repetitions that are massed together, such as in traditional classes. Kang, 2016.
EFFICIENT FOR AGENCIES
Designed to keep your entire agency updated without any travel, per diem, overtime or backfill. Your officers will receive a steady stream of quality training and then get out to the street answering calls…fast.
IMPROVED ABILITY & PERFORMANCE
Studies conclude that microlearning techniques improve the effectiveness and efficiency of learning and the knowledge stays memorable for longer periods of time. Mohammed et al, 2018; Jomah et al, 2016.
ESSENTIAL FOR YOUR COMMUNITY
When they're properly educated, your officers will be more confident in their decision-making and more likely to treat community members with the respect and dignity they deserve.
"The platform provides an effortless way for our sergeants to discuss critical issues that are integral to improving officer performance and minimizing risk. Needless to say, I’m thrilled with what The Briefing Room has to offer."
Chief of Police Rick Armendariz, Anaheim Police Department
"As a result of The Briefing Room training, my officers were able to control a combative, handcuffed man without injuring him or themselves. In fact, they told me The Briefing Room training gave them confidence because it clarified the bounds of their legal authority for using force under those circumstances."
Sergeant Mark Andreozzi - Irvine Police Department
"The Briefing Room’s platform has been a much needed resource for improving briefing trainings and I have been nothing but impressed with it."

At the Briefing Room, we know you want to provide the highest level of service to your community while minimizing total liability. But law enforcement today is operating in an environment of intense scrutiny while training budgets remain stretched thin, making it increasingly difficult for officers to rise to everyday challenges.
These difficulties leave you with the uncertainty of ensuring your officers' safety, maintaining public trust, and exposure to unnecessary liability. You shouldn't have to leave these things entirely to chance.
We've seen how ineffective most training is during our own time in law enforcement. State minimum training standards are insufficient to prepare law enforcement officers for society's expectations, and sending officers to training is expensive with a low return on investment for the entire agency.
The Briefing Room's 90-Second R.I.S.E. Training Blocks are the solution. They are focused, evidence-based training sessions created in line with the latest research on micro-training and have been field-tested and refined by over 800 officers.
As a result, those officers are more prepared for the difficulties that arise every day in patrol and custody. Most importantly, the entire police agency is on the same page, addressing incidents as a team because they are all receiving the same leading-edge training.

After your agency implements use of force data management software or spreadsheets, performance history audits related to use of force should be conducted consistently. Performance history audits of individual officers help supervisors identify warning signs of problematic behavior. They also help identify commendable behavior that might otherwise go unnoticed. Trends that can be analyzed include citizen's complaints, use of force incidents, pursuits, internal affairs investigations and disciplinary reports. Whatever data you choose to track, its important that the data is based on comparing peer group ratios instead of just hard numbers. Using ratios of like groups helps to reduce false flags or false negatives. Once potentially problematic behavior is identified, it should be handed over to a formal Early Intervention Program within your agency. Early Intervention Programs are non-punitive, proactive interventions designed to correct bad behavior before it turns into policy violations or criminal or civil liability. As part of the program, an EIP Board should be formed that consists of various subject matter experts include use of force, tactical, report writing, field training and other specialties. The board should meet and develop a customized plan for the employee based on the problems that were identified. Positive indicators like commendations, awards and training records should also be examined and, if possible, the employee should meet with the board, to get a complete picture. The officer would then be required to attend additional training as recommended by the board and follow-up meetings should take place to ensure the plan is working as intended.

Should your agency start to Implement Use of Force Data Management Software? What are the five most common types use of force on your agency? Which calls for service have the most probability to end in a Taser usage versus a take down? What time of day do these incidents typically occur and in what patrol areas? Unless you're using data management software to track your agency's use of force data, you don't really know the answers to these questions. Force accountability software provides your agency with professional records management and statistical tracking. It provides your Managers and a use of force review unit with instant access to statistical trends and allows you to adjust training and tactics to what is factually happening in the field. And finally, it will help you increase transparency with the public. There are many different vendors for use of force accountability software including LEFTA Systems and I.A. Pro's Blue Teams. No matter what system you choose to use, the important thing is that you analyze the data it generates and adjust your training and tactics accordingly. For example, if takedowns are your most common use of force but your defensive tactics program doesn't emphasize training in takedowns, you should consider adjusting your program to meet your officer's needs. If a specific style of de-escalation is more effective than others, that tactic should be reinforced in training and in the field. Even if your agency can't afford a dedicated software system, at a minimum someone in your agency will be an expert in the use of Microsoft Excel. Have them set up a spreadsheet that keeps track of various data related to use of force incidents such as time of day, area of the city, force used, what de-escalation attempts were made, whether or not the use of force was successful, and so on. Each use of force incident would need to be hand entered but the intelligence you gather from that spreadsheet could help save your agency from a lawsuit, injuries or even save a life.

Professionalize Your Use of Force Review Process Internal procedural justice among officers is just as important as external procedural justice with the community. If Police officers don't know what's expected of them or discipline is administered unfairly, it can cause hesitancy, resentment and poor morale; all of which is a disservice to your community. Professionalizing your use of force review process so that officer's understand exactly what's expected of them and so they believe their actions will be evaluated fairly goes a long way toward avoiding negativity within an agency. To begin with, an agency should be clear about what the reporting requirements are for each type of force used. California Department of Justice recommends dividing use of force into three levels to provide peace officers with a clear understanding of what to expect in the review process when that level of force occurs. These levels are for reporting and review only and not intended as a force continuum for the application of force. An example of this can be found on pages 36-44 of California DOJ's Review of the Sacramento Police Department, which you can find in the additional resources of this video. Second, a methodical approach to reviews that always asks the same questions should be adopted for the review process. Whether its digital or on paper, specific questions based on law, policy and agency training should be applied to the review process to ensure all use of force incidents are reviewed as similarly as possible every day and officer to officer. An example form we created can be found in the additional resources section for this video. And third, a clear process for the flow of paperwork and disposition of the investigation should be implemented. Officers should be clear about what's going to happen after they write their report. Implementing these three recommendations will go a long way to providing more consistent internal procedural justice and is consistent with modern police use of force oversight.
