The evolution of the use of force in the United States, and in particular deadly force, has been influenced by at least three factors. The first factor is the law. Most famously, the United States Supreme Court in Tennessee V Garner introduced the dual concepts of Necessary and Reasonable. The second factor has been technological change. In the arena of deadly force, police officers have access to more powerful weapons and weapons with high-capacity magazines. Additionally, a number of less-than-lethal options have been introduced in the last three decades. Lastly, changes in the law and the introduction of new weapons systems have led to a revolution in police training. In many instances and in addition to basic marksmanship training given at a firing range, police officers in the 21st Century are also trained via real-life “shoot-don’t-shoot” exercises and simulators. All of these factors have led to greater public and administrative expectations of police officers when they are faced with use of force situations. Lieutenant Raymond E. Foster, LAPD (ret.) a international expert in police policy and practices will explore the various factors in the evolution of law enforcement’s use of deadly force. 00:28:00CSU Talk Radionocsu,columbia southern university,criminal justice,online degrees,deadly forceA police officer can use force to overcome resistance and to defend him or herself.

What few of us consider is that the holiday season is a time when there is an increased risk of home fires. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) many households engage in holiday activities that serve as some of the leading causes of U.S. home fires, including cooking. Christmas trees, candle usage and holiday decorations also significantly contribute to the seasonal causes of home fires. Add to that the hectic nature of the holidays, when people are trying to accomplish multiple tasks at one time, and the chance for home fires grows even more. This week we will discuss these items and how you can prevent them and stay safe over the holidays. Our special guests are Fire Chief Alan Martin with the Tuscaloosa Fire-Rescue Department and Fire Chief Donnie West with the Center Point Fire District.
