Stalking Protection Orders (SPOs) protect victims from their stalker but are currently under-utilised by police forces. For National Stalking Awareness Week 2024, we call for the implementation of minimum standards for the application of SPOs to ensure the long-term safety of victims of stalking. #NSAW24 #StalkingAwareness #JoinForcesAgainstStalking

For #NSAW2024, we're raising awareness about the need for Stalking Protection Orders (SPOs) to better protect victims. SPOs can shield people from their stalkers, but police don't use them enough. We're calling for minimum standards on how SPOs are issued. This ensures stalking victims can access these crucial protections and safeguard their long-term safety. Too many stalking victims live in fear. It's time for consistent protocols so SPOs are properly utilized to prevent further trauma. Join us in advocating for stalking victims' rights this #NSAW2024.

Have you considered the safety of the building you work in? Ask yourself: Is your workplace safe for everyone, including police officers who may have to attend during an emergency? An unmarked hazard such as an open hole, electrical hazard, or dangerous chemical could result in a serious injury or death for a first responder. It's Police Week 2024 and we can all do more to help protect those who protect us. https://lnkd.in/gHVPyxz6 #PoliceWeek2024 #safetyforall #safeworkplaces #safetyforfirstresponders #preventinjuries #preventaccidents #preventfatalities #ohs #safetymatters #firstresponders #safety #occupationalsafety #gratitudeforpolice #police

In addition to the number of Assaults/Attacks against Officers being at a 10 year high, it seems that attacks on Officers with knives are increasing as well. In the last several weeks, there have been numerous Officer attacked with and even stabbed by individuals armed with knives. While knife attacks do not attract the same media coverage as assaults committed against Officers with firearms, knives are just as dangerous and deadly guns and knives can be deadly even if there is originally distance between the Officer and the suspect since it takes mere seconds for the armed assailant to cover the distances of 15-20-30 feet. Anyone who has ever seen what a knife can do to a person in a quick period of time will tell you that. No matter what the mental condition of the subject is or their age, any suspect armed with a knife is dangerous. When possible, Officers should try to gain distance, deescalate the situation, and/or use less than lethal tools upon subject who is armed with a knife. But they must always be ready to utilize lethal force and the second the subject becomes a danger to the Officer, another Officer, or the public lethal force should be used without hesitation. When instances like this happen, there are always a few “dreamers” that have no idea what a critical incident is like or the feeling of confronting a dangerous person with a knife that will say, “It’s only a knife, you should have just ran backwards or hit him with the baton or pepper sprayed him. You didn’t need to shoot him.” When these people show up, it is the duty of the leader of that Law Enforcement Agency to clearly, loudly, and in no uncertain terms declare their 100% percent support of the Officers and the Officers actions and tell they public in public meetings, in the media, and every time the question is raised in any forum that the only person to blame for this incident was the criminal with the knife. Leaders need to train their Officers to be prepared for such deadly encounters and then support their Officers when they experience such critical events. Doing anything else is a leadership failure. #police #policeofficer #policeofficers #officer #officers #lawenforcement #lawenforcementofficer #policechief #policedepartment #sheriff #deputy #cop #cops #copscountpolicematter #policematter #policingmatters #policing #policeman #publicsafety #communitysafety #protectandserve #criminaljustice #leadership #law International Association of Chiefs of Police Police Executive Research Forum FBI National Academy Associates, Inc.

The sentiment here is KEY! Why would you apprehend an individual already experiencing pain and trauma using a painful and potentially dangerous method/methods of restraint? Wouldn’t you rather be compassionate and, WITHOUT causing pain, enable the person to be taken to a place of safety where they can be treated and cared for appropriately?
