A 2025 review by the United States Supreme Court has renewed national debate over the moment-of-threat doctrine and its role in use-of-force analysis. Traditionally applied to limit judicial review to the officer's perspective at the precise instant force is used, this doctrine excludes consideration of pre-threat conduct and tactical decision-making. This session examines the Court's evolving guidance on whether reasonableness must instead be evaluated under a broader totality of the circumstances framework. Attendees will explore how pre-threat indicators, officer jeopardy assessments, and tactical choices may factor into constitutional analysis, with direct implications for training, supervision, policy development, and post-incident review. The program translates emerging legal standards into practical guidance for real-world policing.
