Use of Force
- Objective analysis governed by Supreme Court and federal appellate precedent.
- Review of officer positioning, decision points, and biomechanics.
- De-escalation, tactical communication, and post-force standards of care.
Evidence. Analysis. Discovery.
Define the Standard Before Opposing Counsel Does
Cases are won and lost on training, policy, standards, and best practices, not just a clip of bodycam footage and a news story.
Get policy, state and national standards, and the underlying training rationales explained by an expert who writes state-mandated curriculum and trains the trainers in both “what” to teach and “how” to teach it.
EAD Experts gives counsel an objective, standards-based evaluation of the officer’s and the agency’s actions, written to hold up in court.

- Deployment of chemical agents, impact munitions, and stun / distraction devices.

Separate Engagement
Training Programs
Training is a separate engagement from expert work. I run two tracks, one for agencies and one for counsel. Retaining me on a case and booking a program are two different things.
For Agencies
Curriculum design, use of force documentation, and high-risk corrections protocols. Built for training commanders, academy directors, and agency instructors.
For Attorneys
Reading a police training file, deposing the trainer, and evaluating force beyond the body camera. CLE style sessions, plaintiff or defense.
Principal Consultant
Jeremy T. Haas
I am an expert witness and Louisiana's POST Senior Master Instructor, with more than 26 years of combined service across the United States Air Force, law enforcement, and corrections. I am the first and only person in Louisiana to earn POST Master Instructor status in all three areas: Level 1 Basic, Level 3 Corrections, and Firearms. I train the Master Instructor candidates and decide which are approved for certification, and POST then issues the certification. Those Master Instructors in turn develop the instructors teaching cadets and officers in Level 1 Basic Law Enforcement, Level III Corrections, and Firearms. I have delivered more than 16,000 hours of certified instruction since 2013, and I build every program around Adult Learning Theory.
