- **Event Name**: Understanding Police Use of Force: A Community Conversation
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 03 Mar, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Tue, 03 Mar, 2026 at 09:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Police use of force is one of the most discussed — and often misunderstood — areas of law enforcement. This public forum will explain how force decisions are evaluated under the Constitution and the standards officers are legally held to.

We will cover the Supreme Court decisions in Tennessee v. Garner, Graham v. Connor, and Scott v. Harris, how “objective reasonableness” is applied, and how use-of-force incidents are reviewed.

Chief Goeden is a state and federally-trained use-of-force instructor who previously taught at the Alaska DPS Training Academy and has been involved in, investigated, and reviewed deadly force incidents.

There will be time for questions at the end.
