Even the most well-trained, ethical officers can make poor decisions under pressure. This video explores the real factors that drive decision-making failures in law enforcement—organizational stress, cognitive overload, unclear policies, inconsistent supervision, and cultural norms that quietly shape behavior. Rather than blaming individuals, this session reframes misconduct and errors as system-level breakdowns that leadership can address. Viewers will gain insight into how evidence-based supervision, clear expectations, and supportive accountability structures reduce risk, protect officers, and strengthen public trust. This video sets the foundation for proactive leadership strategies that prevent failure before it occurs.
