FORCE FORUM 2025

MAY 20-22, 2025

NAVIGATING CRUNCH TIME: WHY THE FIRST 96 HOURS MATTER

JEKYLL ISLAND CONVENTION CENTER
75 BEACHVIEW DR N
JEKYLL ISLAND, GA 31527

Presented by Lance LoRusso, Esq.
Thought Leader & Expert on Use of Force & National FOP Attorney of the Year 2021

ABOUT THE FORCE FORUM

The Force Forum is a training conference for public safety professionals and attorneys who represent them. The conference is for those seeking best practices and cutting-edge research on investigating and defending use of force. The theme for this year’s program is navigating the crunch time immediately following an OIS or critical incident. Our expert speakers will share best practices and strategies for navigating potential pitfalls beginning with on-scene response to the first critical days after an incident. Attendees will hear lessons and stories from experts, attorneys and LEO clients who have lived through this crunch time.

“The entire event was spectacular. Maybe the most simultaneously in-depth and holistic law enforcement training I’ve ever attended.”

Chris Harvey

Deputy Director GA POST

“Lance’s presentation was fantastic information. Easily one of the best speakers in the business.”
