Blue Line Lawyer Institute's 2025 Force Forum Sets New Standards in Public Safety Training

The Blue Line Lawyer Institute's 2025 Force Forum emerged as a pivotal event for public safety professionals and their legal representatives, drawing unprecedented attendance and acclaim. Focused on the aftermath of officer-involved shootings or critical incidents, the forum provided a comprehensive platform for learning and discussion. The theme, 'Navigating the Crunch Time After an Officer-Involved Shooting or Critical Incident,' highlighted the event's dedication to addressing real-world challenges with practical solutions.

Lance J. LoRusso, the institute's founder, underscored the forum's practical relevance, pointing to the actionable advice derived from firsthand experiences. The event featured notable keynote speakers, including Bill Lewinski, Ph.D., who explored human performance under stress, and Tamara Cummings, who discussed due process and officer protections. Judge D. Victor Reynolds added depth to the discussions with his analysis of prosecutorial decisions in use of force cases.

Designed for a diverse audience of law enforcement personnel, instructors, administrators, and defense attorneys, the forum covered essential topics such as post-incident response, investigation challenges, officer resilience, and legal considerations. With approvals from Georgia POST and pending GACP Executive Credit, the forum reinforced the institute's role in advancing public safety training. The announcement of plans for the 2026 Force Forum reflects the institute's ongoing commitment to excellence and education in public safety.
