Tactical Intervention is a popular workshop based on the highly acclaimed article written by Dave and Betsy Smith entitled “When Good Employees Do Stupid Things.“

As we continually work to professionalize law enforcement, we have less and less tolerance for bad behavior, both on and off duty.  Inappropriate sexual escapades, drunk driving, and other legal, moral and policy violations that used to be “swept under the rug” are now front page news when committed by a cop. But what happens when an otherwise good employee commits an act of stupidity that lands him or her right in the middle of a serious investigation? How should the agency handle the before, during, and after the event, and how can this behavior be prevented in the future?

Tactical Intervention is a no-nonsense, dynamic workshop that teaches all police employees how to “intervene” in a fellow employee’s bad behavior, from poor officer safety on duty to inappropriate Facebook posts off duty, while still maintaining the integrity and camaraderie essential to our success on and off the job.
