 | As the authors of this guide note, an Officer-Involved Shooting (OIS) is probably the most traumatic event a police officer will ever experience in his or her career. If the reaction to such an event is not handled properly, it can not only take an emotional toll on the individuals involved, but spark anger in the community and create negative fallout for the rest of the department. To provide practical guidance for handling the wide range of challenges that follow an OIS, the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) and the COPS Office collaborated to produce this detailed report. A must-read for all law enforcement agencies, it provides incident command and investigation procedures, guidance for selecting mental health professionals for post-shooting debriefings, suggestions for familiarizing officers with their rights, recommendations for working with the media, and expert advice in many other areas.By International Association of Chiefs of PoliceCategories: Police OperationsLanguage: EnglishPublic link
