Module 3: Use of Force & Officer Liability
Few decisions an officer makes carry higher stakes, for everyone involved, than the decision to use force. This module covers the constitutional standard that decision gets judged against, and what actually happens — and doesn’t automatically happen — when a court finds it fell short. Every section below is pre-written and deterministic; nothing is AI-generated.
