At S-E-A, our Public Safety Team specializes in applying physical force applications, human performance elements, behavioral analysis, and physiological assessments, as it relates to decision making in real-world force encounters. These analyses involve detailed, objective review of human action, reaction, and response. The goal is to determine the potential causes for why certain decisions are likely made relating to the scenario being experienced in accordance with the totality factors and circumstances of the event.
Additionally, the team can review public safety and security policies or procedures to determine if compliance is met. This includes a multitude of law enforcement, emergency services, and security agency practices/operations. The team is also able to perform ballistics trajectory analysis in shooting-related incidents and safety assessments for firearms-related incidents. Further capabilities include assistance with vehicle accident reconstruction and biomechanical reviews of bodily injuries as they pertain to the investigation.
