You know you're a huge nerd when you watch this entire video, and you're not even in law enforcement! I'm a Social Worker, and have a strong interest in criminal justice reform issues. Would've enjoyed seeing the replays of each "parallell" talk from the conference - a few looked very interesting (from what I read on the agenda), but no recordings appear to be available! I looked up ICAT to see what it was, and landed on a 2-page explanation from Maris Herold herself, I imagine, published by the Boulder P.D. It was really helpful, and reassured me that at least 1 police department is actively working toward becoming officers who actually "protect & serve," rather than those who overreact & kill. The stats clearly demonstrate how effective this ICAT training has been in Boulder with a measurable decrease in takedowns, incidents of brandishing a gun to gain compliance, and complaints filed for excessive use of force! No criticism of this training or methodology would be warranted, in my opinion. The stats In fact, I consider each step of the decision-making process to be common-sense. Respect for the sanctity of all human life (*and animal life, ahem!) seems like a no-brainer...yet, body-worn camera footage clearly shows a great number of officers disregarding the lives of "suspects" in various ways. Police doing *everything possible* to avoid physically harming a suspect shouldn't seem like a "new" policy for any police officer. I don't believe that new officers start out feeling arrogant and on a power trip...I think they start by carrying out their duties respectfully & honorably, but Later adapt to the "company culture" of reckless & dogmatic authoritarianism that seems to be pervasive among police departments nationwide. A disregard for the sanctity of human life isn't an attitude reserved solely for officer-involved homicides. Rather, we observe such an attitude during every "takedown," "dogpile," unreasonable stop, unreasonable search, chokehold & materially false prosecution of an innocent person! The newbies learn from their senior officers that cops are above the law and can do or behave as they like.

Me too! But I was sent here (to see Chuck Wexler) by a former senior official of the Chicago Police Department.

My exploration into ICAT led me to this video. I’m interested how this will develop. So far police reform has been disastrous. Departments are running low on Cops and Chiefs are still getting fired. The spectrum of social responsibility between Cops and civilians is completely one sided, and using Cops as political punching bags just makes things worse.
