Howdy!
Our next webinar is about how to handle police misconduct.
There’s a twist, though…
To avoid getting bogged down in an unhelpful culture war debate, I interviewed a Sheriff to find out what law enforcement recommends.
In the interview, Sheriff Ron Hain of Kane County, Illinois offers a lot of nuance, but his basic message is this:
- If the officer’s behavior is dangerous, call 911 on the officer.
- If the officer’s behavior is not dangerous (“merely” rude or unprofessional), ignore it in the moment and then report the officer to the department.
In fact, Sheriff Hain didn’t say you CAN report the officer.
He said you SHOULD report the officer.
“Police leadership can’t be everywhere. We can’t watch every officer’s interaction. We need to know when an officer needs more training or disciplinary action. Please turn in officers who behave badly.” – Sheriff Ron Hain
Our interview is next week. The first 40 minutes is me interviewing Sheriff Hain. The last 20 minutes are live questions from the audience.
Have a great week!
Peace,
Ryan
