Case Law Scholars: Reasonable Officer Standard
The concept of the reasonable person standard isn’t new, but it was adapted and made a part of the use of force decisions in 1989 with the concept of the reasonable officer. Chief John Bouthillette, a lead instructor for the VALOR Program, and Mr. Bruce-Alan Barnard, a nationally renowned law enforcement legal educator, discuss the reasonable officer standard and how it works in relation to the fourth amendment.
