OVERVIEW:

This workshop will discuss the moral, religious and legal guidelines for the use of force, including deadly force, in defense of yourself or others.

We will cover the need for safety team members to be mentally, physically and emotionally prepared to act in defense of others, as well as the need for after-action support.

We will look at both the law and specific shooting incidents and understand how the law applied to these different scenarios.

GOALS:

• Is it morally right to use force to protect others

• What are the guiding religious principles on Use of Force

• How do our laws reflect these religious beliefs
