Independent Assistance

Excited Delirium Education, Research and Information

Over the past decade, increased attention has been paid to the sudden and seemingly inexplicable deaths of some highly agitated subjects being held in police custody. In most of these cases, the force required to restrain or incapacitate the suspect was not sufficient to cause death.

Institute for the Prevention of In-Custody Deaths

As criminal justice administrators, trainers, oficers, risk managers, health care and mental-health professionals, attorneys, select criminal justice manufacturers, affected families, and communities have experienced sudden- and in-custody death events, the Institute for the Prevention of In-Custody Deaths, Inc. (IPICD) was created to be the clearinghouse and training provider for sudden- and in-custody deaths and related information.
