The rise of litigation against public agencies has magnified the importance of accountability, transparency, and meaningful training programs that equip staff with legally sound decision-making skills. In this course, attendees will be familiarized with: State and Federal law; the road to litigation; Civil vs. Criminal Liability; Immunities; and Deliberate Indifference vs. Bystander Liability scenarios. Officers will engage an active-learning environment in which they discuss legally-sound and practical approaches to liability scenarios and debrief as a group.
