On March 31, 2021, at 3:00 p.m. (ET), The TASA Group, in conjunction with law enforcement and safety expert Timothy Dimoff, presented a one-hour interactive webinar presentation, Police and Crisis Intervention – A Crisis in Itself, for all legal professionals. During this presentation, Tim Dimoff discussed:
• Definitions of The Use of Force Continuum and how it is to be used when responding to active situations.
• Various types of crisis situations that law enforcement encounters including mental illness, domestic violence, disorderly conduct, suicidal situations, autism, impairment, fear, and more.
• Current training protocols for officers to understand and recognize the clues and behaviors of persons who may be in a mental health crisis vs. being mentally ill.
• Proper officer responses to a person in crisis situation including risk assessment; determining potential threats; recognizing rage or anger vs. fright; recognizing and utilizing protocols for responding to dementia, cognitive impairment, delusions, paranoia, and more.
• The debate of how defunding of police can affect the risks and potential harm to other first responders when responding to people in crisis situations.
