A Los Angeles Police Officer was charged with the unlawful use of force upon a 16 year old handcuffed teenager. The LAPD law enforcement agent was video taped choking and punching the teen in a sqaud room.

The officer has been relieved of his gun and badge pending a criminal investigation.

Unlawful use of force and police brutality has been a problem for police agencies for years. Unlawful use of force can spawn law suits and be costly to police departments and the the tax paying citizens they protect.

Police Officers, Parole Agents, Correction Officers, Probation Officers and Sherrifs operate under extreme stress.

Stress has been found to have a direct correlation to unmanagemed anger and aggression.

Those within the criminal justice field find themselves under extreme scrutiny and are expected to suspend fear and extreme emotions when serving the public.

Officers are expected to use acceptable police tactics in the field when provoked and threatend. Many officers are successful in managing their rage while on duty but find themselves out of control in their own personal lives.

Anger Management Classes teach stress management techniques, effective communication skills, and how to increase emotional intelligence.

Responsible Law Enforcement agencies require that their police cadets and seasoned officers attend anger management classes while training and as needed.

Anger Management Classes are offered in small group settings or as private confidential executive coaching.
