CIRMA Roll Call Training Topics - New Topics!

Download our Roll Call Training Topics series. These easy-to-read PDFs were designed to address and offer suggestions for potential incidents, which might present risk to the individual officer or department. Each topic is formatted with five sections: discussion of hypothetical incident details, risks analysis, liability, lessons learned, and recommended changes which could be implemented on duty. The topics are brief publications that could easily be presented at roll call before duty, with the hope that the recommended changes could offer guidance for possible risk while on duty. The topics outlined in the Roll Call Training Series are--

• Intersection Accident
• Pursuit Accident
• Suspect Searches
• Unlawful Seizure/Detention
• Comments to the Community
• Suspect Supervision
• Work Zone Safety
• Wear Protective Vests
