FS News archives 2 new case histories: Force Science and the aftermath of violent encounters =Force Science News Consider the recent experiences of 2 police trainers and Force Science graduates who played pivotal roles in significant use-of-force investigations, 1,700 miles and an international border apart. In one, an officer ended up cleared of wrongdoing in a controversial Tasering. In the other, an officer's frayed emotions were calmed after a lethal confrontation and his department is now on its way to modernizing its post-shooting policies. Says Dr. Bill Lewinski, executive director of the Force Science Institute, which to date has conferred the title of Force Science Analyst on some 400 certification graduates: "These are excellent examples of how psychological and physiological research findings can be brought to the investigative arena--not in any way to excuse or obscure egregious police behavior but to help officers get fair, informed, and scientifically based treatment in use-of-force reviews."
