Potential liability is an ever-increasing reality for law enforcement agencies and officers. Over the last decade, Law Enforcement Liability has increased significantly, becoming a $3.2 billion dollar business! This is largely due to increased public awareness and scrutiny of police actions leading to constitutional violations and misconduct.
Additionally, agencies and supervisors are facing more lawsuits from personnel that give rise to litigation in areas such as harassment, freedom of speech, and disciplinary actions.
This course will be of significant value to all officers, with special attention being given to supervisors, training officers, and command staff. Attendees will leave the course with a comprehensive overview of the most common types of liability in both the criminal and civil courts. Attendees will be empowered with the tools to prevent, recognize, and mitigate liability exposure.
Regardless of your current assignment, you have an obligation to yourself, the people you lead, and your agency to help prevent liability exposure!
This course was designed with that goal in mind.
