Human Performance Under Stress

Up one level

Dr. Artwohl, an internationally recognized presenter and member of the prestigious Force Science Institute, will present a detailed analysis of the psychological dynamics of police combat and other extreme stress incidents. This includes perception, memory, decision making, and the complex relationships between the human beings involved:  offenders, officers, the agency, the community.  Understanding these dynamics will help agencies improve their training, reduce the many risk factors involved in use of force incidents, and maximize the accuracy of their investigations. She will review many research studies from the areas of psychology, sociology, biology, law enforcement, and investigations.
