Bench to Badge distills key U.S. Supreme Court cases into clear, practical video training for law enforcement. Each module ties landmark rulings to everyday policing, helping officers make informed, defensible decisions, strengthen public trust, and reduce overall risk.
Barnes v. Felix (2025) emphasized that courts must assess police use of force under the Fourth Amendment based on the totality of the circumstances, not just the moment force is applied. The ruling directed lower courts to consider the officer’s actions leading up to the use of force.
For law enforcement, this reinforces the need for comprehensive training and accountability throughout an encounter—not just at its climax—to ensure constitutionally sound policing.
