OFFICERS
Training your officers to meet your community's expectations should not be difficult or expensive.
Without giving your officers the practical skills they need to thrive in our highly demanding society, it's going to cost you…
Higher Liability
Negative viral videos
More risk of consent decrees
Low officer retention
Loss of public support
Poor agency morale
By subscribing your agency to The Briefing Room, you can provide your supervisors with the contemporary tools they need to develop high-performing teams that lower liability and build community support.
The risk for claims payouts doesn’t have to be left to chance.
Failing to offer your law enforcement clients access to state-of-the-art, professional training is going to cost you…
Increased risk of property, liability and tort claims
Higher costs to the entire membership pool
Larger adjuster caseloads and administrative expenses
Greater workers comp and health claims
Higher legal fees
Risk that your competitors are providing these benefits
Most law enforcement agencies only meet minimum State training standards, which is not adequate to prepare their officers for the incredibly complex job law enforcement professionals perform everyday. Join The Briefing Room and give your member agencies access to the knowledge they need to lower risk and serve their communities in a procedurally just and constitutionally sound manner.
Being a law enforcement officer today should not be so difficult or demoralizing.
Without giving yourself the practical skills you need to thrive in this highly demanding profession, its going to cost you…
Increased exposure to lawsuits
Higher probability of negative viral videos
Exposure to politically motivated prosecutions
Harder to get promotions or specialized spots
Poor quality service to your community
Poor mental and physical health
Taking ownership over your own training, beyond just meeting State minimum standards, is the only successful path forward in today’s highly politicized environment. Join The Briefing Room and give yourself the knowledge you need to build your competence and confidence as a law enforcement professional. By empowering yourself, you’ll understand exactly what society expects of you and how you can best serve your community. Its time to regain your passion for this amazing profession.

The Briefing Room Provides a Solution
The Briefing Room empowers law enforcement supervisors to easily provide leading-edge training to their shift of officers during briefing or roll call. Every training session is designed within our R.I.S.E. Training Block system, containing three powerful components that teach or reinforce one simple concept every day.
1) FOCUSED TRAINING VIDEOS
Professional, evidence-based 90-second training videos produced exclusively for law enforcement supervisors and presented as a story, making the concepts easier to apply to real life scenarios.
2) KEY POINTS WORKSHEETS
Every video is accompanied by a Supervisor's Key Points Worksheet that utilizes the proven principles of Bloom's Taxonomy. This allows supervisors to facilitate follow-up discussions with their shift designed to lead officers from lower-order to higher-order thinking.
3) FOLLOW-UP Resources
All reference material and additional resources are provided for supervisors and officers who want to dive deeper into the topic.

BETTER RETENTION OF CONCEPTS
Hundreds of studies in cognitive and educational psychology demonstrate that microlearning produces superior long-term learning, compared with repetitions that are massed together, such as in traditional classes. Kang, 2016.
EFFICIENT FOR AGENCIES
Designed to keep your entire agency updated without any travel, per diem, overtime or backfill. Your officers will receive a steady stream of quality training and then get out to the street answering calls…fast.
IMPROVED ABILITY & PERFORMANCE
Studies conclude that microlearning techniques improve the effectiveness and efficiency of learning and the knowledge stays memorable for longer periods of time. Mohammed et al, 2018; Jomah et al, 2016.
ESSENTIAL FOR YOUR COMMUNITY
When they're properly educated, your officers will be more confident in their decision-making and more likely to treat community members with the respect and dignity they deserve.
"The platform provides an effortless way for our sergeants to discuss critical issues that are integral to improving officer performance and minimizing risk. Needless to say, I’m thrilled with what The Briefing Room has to offer."
Chief of Police Rick Armendariz, Anaheim Police Department
"As a result of The Briefing Room training, my officers were able to control a combative, handcuffed man without injuring him or themselves. In fact, they told me The Briefing Room training gave them confidence because it clarified the bounds of their legal authority for using force under those circumstances."
Sergeant Mark Andreozzi - Irvine Police Department
"The Briefing Room’s platform has been a much needed resource for improving briefing trainings and I have been nothing but impressed with it."

At the Briefing Room, we know you want to provide the highest level of service to your community while minimizing total liability. But law enforcement today is operating in an environment of intense scrutiny while training budgets remain stretched thin, making it increasingly difficult for officers to rise to everyday challenges.
These difficulties leave you with the uncertainty of ensuring your officers' safety, maintaining public trust, and exposure to unnecessary liability. You shouldn't have to leave these things entirely to chance.
We've seen how ineffective most training is during our own time in law enforcement. State minimum training standards are insufficient to prepare law enforcement officers for society's expectations, and sending officers to training is expensive with a low return on investment for the entire agency.
The Briefing Room's 90-Second R.I.S.E. Training Blocks are the solution. They are focused, evidence-based training sessions created in line with the latest research on micro-training and have been field-tested and refined by over 800 officers.
As a result, those officers are more prepared for the difficulties that arise every day in patrol and custody. Most importantly, the entire police agency is on the same page, addressing incidents as a team because they are all receiving the same leading-edge training.

Virtually every law enforcement association or oversight group recommends agencies adopt wellness programs to reduce use of force incidents. This is because wellness programs have been shown to help relieve PTSD, depression, obesity, divorce, diabetes, and many other life issues that lead to more significant stress among officers.
Here are some recommendations from the experience of deputies setting up a wellness program within the agency I work for.
First, start with modest goals with minimal to no cost. Find a motivated person in your agency who believes in the mission of a wellness program and work with them to develop these modest goals. These can include finding motivational posters you can hang in the station, cleaning up the station weight room, putting weight scales and blood pressure monitors in the locker rooms, and bringing in a volunteer from the community willing to speak during briefing about healthier eating. The initial goals should be clear benefits to the employees and easy to accompli

Consider this Scenario: Officers obtained a valid search warrant for a motel room. After the warrant was signed by the judge, they decided they wanted to search the suspect’s home. They called the judge, who verbally authorized a search of the second location. The officers didn’t physically amend the warrant.
Question: Is the oral authorization from the judge, without physically amending the warrant, sufficient to allow the search of the second location?
Here’s what the 9th Circuit said on August 30, 2022:
"While a judge had orally approved the search of the home, the text of the Fourth Amendment still requires the warrant to specify the place to be searched."
"...it was not clearly established at the time that the search would violate the Fourth Amendment. An officer could have believed- based on the lack of direct case law at the time- that he or she could search the home because the court had orally approved the search, even if the officer failed to make that change on the warrant."

Agencies that don't build positive relationships with the community, specifically related to use force, are missing out on a tremendous opportunity to affect how a community responds to a viral use of force incident, even if that incident didn't occur in that agency's jurisdiction.
Community relationships can be improved by proactively organizing use of force discussions with diverse groups within your community. This includes groups representing minorities, the homeless, LGBTQ, community activists, and high school students. These meetings should be run by charismatic officers and use of force experts. For example, it might include a presentation regarding use of force laws and agency policy then an open discussion regarding the group's concerns. Finally, us of force role-playing or time spent in a simulator where they wear police equipment and respond to calls as if they're the officers. In my experience, our most prominent critics are open to listening and shocked to know there are already comprehensive
