Please join us for the 2024 International Use of Force Conference - Virtual or In-person attendance. The online presentation will be available for our international guests in different time zones until midnight (Pacific Time) on April 30, 2024.

Hear from the top legal and subject matter experts on the research, case law, police training, and trends in national and international police use of force issues.

This conference is eligible for 26.5 hours of CPD credit with the Law Society of British Columbia. After the conference participants can record credit under “JIBC Police Academy 2024 International Use of Force Expert Conference”.

This conference will develop the knowledge, skills and report writing abilities essential to the professional development of the use of force instructors, police union agents, police oversight bodies and legal counsel for the provision of expert opinions for internal police processes, civil and criminal trials, coroner's inquests, and other related criminal justice related processes.

This conference is designed for professionals who have an interest in developing a deeper understanding of this subject matter area, or in building the foundational skills towards becoming a court-qualified use of force expert.

Learning the use of force concepts for law enforcement is a multi-layered and complex undertaking. It is rare to have the opportunity to bring together this number and calibre of subject matter experts under the umbrella of one event. This conference provides a great opportunity to learn from the top experts in their respective fields on a topic that remains one of the most challenging issues facing law enforcement today.
