Driving Down Police Line-of-Duty Deaths: How to cut LODDs in half now!
Presented by: Dale Stockton and Deputy Chief Marc Joseph
Over two thousand officers have been killed in the line of duty since the year 2000 with a large percentage dying in ways that could have been easily prevented. Join Law Officer Editor-in-Chief Dale Stockton and Las Vegas Metro PD Deputy Chief Marc Joseph as they present compelling information on how line-of-duty deaths can be driven down to levels not seen since the 1940s! This training will draw from two primary sources: 1) Lessons learned after multiple LODDs at LVMPD and 2) The five tenets of Below 100, a program that is sweeping the country and has already dramatically impacted law enforcement culture. This class is a must for any law enforcement professional interested in officer safety. Personnel who serve in LE support positions are welcome to attend.
