Geoffrey Desmoulin Science of Violence Considerations in Use of Force Investigations

ILEETA Learning Lab Podcast Show Notes Episode: The Science of Violence and Use of Force Investigations with Dr. Geoffrey Desmoulin Host: Brian Willis, Deputy Executive Director for ILEETA Guest: Dr. Geoffrey Desmoulin, Biomechanical Consultant Overview: Welcome to this special ILEETA Learning Lab podcast. The Learning Lab is an ongoing professional development benefit for members of the International Law Enforcement Educators and Trainers Association (ILEETA). ILEETA is dedicated to advancing the law enforcement profession through the development of trainers and educators and sharing information, research, strategies, principles, and concepts related to effective teaching and learning. Purpose: The Learning Lab currently contains over 50 interviews with ILEETA members on various topics related to advancing law enforcement training. Some of these interviews are being publicly released bi-weekly to share the experience and knowledge of ILEETA members with the broader law enforcement training community. Guest Introduction: Dr. Geoffrey Desmoulin offers biomechanical consulting services on behalf of clients throughout North America and abroad, focusing on injury biomechanics, incident reconstruction, and physical testing, with a specialty in the science of violence. He has been retained in significant complex injury litigation cases involving municipal police departments, use of force, violent encounters, and Taser International. Key Discussion Points: Understanding Biomechanics in Use of Force: Combining the skills of human scientists, kinesiologists, and engineers to create a new discipline that examines the injuries from violent encounters. Moving from the point of injury backward in time to understand what caused the injury, rather than just the result of the incident. Quantitative Tools in Investigations: Using data to bridge gaps in case materials and improve the accuracy of investigations. The importance of understanding the location, direction, and magnitude of injuries to reconstruct incidents accurately. Role of Engineering in Incident Reconstruction: Applying scientific methods to test hypotheses and understand incidents without relying on human memory or subjective narratives. Utilizing advanced tools such as high-speed video, thermal imaging, and CAD programs to visualize and analyze incidents. Challenges with Video Evidence: Understanding the limitations and complexities of video evidence in investigations. Techniques for analyzing and validating video data to ensure accuracy and credibility in court. Course Offering: Dr. Desmoulin provides training courses on the science of violence, offering practical tools and real-world case studies for investigators and lawyers. Upcoming courses include a free one-hour session on September 30 and a detailed six-hour course on October 28-29.
