Welcome to the National Fraternal Order of Police Labor Services Division’s video podcast series on labor topics affecting our members nationwide. In this first installment of our two-part series on Critical Incidents, Associate General Counsel Michael Coviello and FOP Labor Specialist Steve Egan break down the critical moments following a high-stakes event—from the legal framework of Graham v. Connor to the practical on-scene decisions that can impact an officer’s future.

Topics include:
• Understanding “objective reasonableness” under federal law
• Best practices for managing the scene of an officer-involved shooting (OIS)
• Real-world insights from law enforcement and legal professionals
• The role of less-lethal force and its implications
• The impact of public perception and prosecutorial review

This video is essential for FOP members, union representatives, and law enforcement professionals seeking to protect themselves, their rights, and their careers.
