You can share your programs and innovations with your colleagues throughout the country by adding it to IACP Net. Please take the next step and highlight your agency’s success by completing our new Publish Your Success form. This will provide the kind of substantive information that other law enforcement leaders will find helpful in their research and decision-making process.

DATABASES "Study of Deaths Following Electro Muscular Disruption: Interim Report" Deaths following CED expsoures have given rise to questions from law enforcement and the public regarding the safety of the devices. Because many gaps remain in the body of knowledge with respect to the effects of CEDs, the National Institute of Justice, the research, development and evaluation agency of the U.S. Department of Justice, has undertaken a study, Deaths Following Electro Muscular Disruption, to address whether CEDs can contribute to or cause mortality and if so, in what ways. The full text of this article can be located in the Core Database under document #599259. "Administrative Investigations of Police Shootings and Other Critical Incidents: The Basics" What information needs to be obtained from an officer who has killed or wounded a suspect, before the officer is placed on paid, administrative leave? Assuming the incident has ended, the first question a supervisor should ask is whether anyone needs medical attention. The supervisor should then inquire if any suspects have fled and could pose a danger to others. The IACP policy recommends, "only minimal, preliminary questions should be asked about the incident. The officers should be advised that a more detailed debriefing will be conducted at a later time." This document is located in the Core Database under document #599398.
