This course explores changes that have occurred in federal and Illinois law regarding the use
of deadly force. Participants will be reintroduced to the Illinois Revised Statutes and the U.S.
Supreme Court case of Tennessee vs. Garner from a supervisory perspective. Situations to be

actual police shootings will be viewed and handouts, including copies of the statutes, will be
provided.
This course will cover the following issues:
- Excessive force and reasonable force
- Gaining entry and resisting arrest
- Effecting an arrest
- Federal constraints
- Types of offenses and the use of force

Emphasis will be placed on imparting and using informed judgments in practical situations

This course will be taught by: Lieutenant James Volpe, Wheaton Police Department.
This interactive program provides advanced street survival skills for all peace officers,
regardless of experience. Students will learn communication techniques that improve their
interpersonal skills and officer safety during various street encounters. Through this
disciplined, common-sense approach, officers will maintain control of the communication
process.
Gaining control of verbal encounters de-escalates conflicts and reduces the risk of injury to
officers, backups, and subjects. A highly trained police self-defense instructor will discuss
the application of these techniques in a variety of situations, including simple traffic stops,
routine street encounters, and extraordinary confrontations.
Course topics include:
- Acquiring an attitude of winning
- Shaping the street encounter through actions and words
- What is confrontational rhetoric?
- Learning to read individuals and crowds
- Gaining credibility through body language and voice
- Re-examining what it means to be "a professional"
A written exam will be administered at the end of this course.
