Civil Liability Prevention Training Seminars

Supervisor Force Liability Prevention

 

Focus:  Police Supervisors from FTO’s to Chief Executives, agency risk managers, and civil attorneys.  While this course was designed for the patrol officer/detectives, it is easily tailored to Corrections personnel, Police Service Dog Handlers, and SWAT.

Also available:  "Corrections Supervisor Force Liability Prevention"

Length:  8 hours

The Supervisor Force Liability Prevention course description really is the course that every police administrator wants, and every supervisor needs.  This course provides an evaluation formula used to either justify officers’ use of force, or to begin disciplinary investigations against officers, using legal requirements of force evaluation.  The Supervisor Force Liability Prevention seminar provides every participant with the minimum knowledge required for any F.T.O., acting supervisor, field sergeant, and Watch Commander to achieve their own proper conduct.  Additionally, this course provides the tools to better monitor and supervise subordinate officers’ use of force.  Finally, everyone needs assistance and training to survive the legal, civil, and political aftermath of a use of force incident.   This is the course you are looking for!

Plaintiffs have changed how they are attacking your supervisors in civil court.  Ever since Sgt. Stacy Koon went to jail, they know your supervisors live in fear that something their officers do will create criminal and civil liability for them.  We know that your supervisors, if only they do their job the way they are trained, have no added liability by virtue of simply being a supervisor.  This course assists your police and corrections supervisors and managers in:

  • Understanding their legal obligations as a supervisor, and the limits to the real civil and criminal liability they have as a supervisor.

  • Achieving proper conduct in the use of force through increased knowledge of the laws of force (both federal and your state law), and

  • Proving that proper conduct through the reporting and documentation of their officers' actions.

This course was developed with the input and assistance of the top police civil defense attorneys and police risk managers in the nation--people who work full-time to defend officers in federal courts against allegations of constitutional misconduct by officers.  CUTTING EDGE TRAINING asked them a simple question:

What do you want your defendant police supervisor to know before he or she takes the stand in federal Court?

This is the information the professionals who defend you want you to know!

Course Content:

  • Current Plaintiff's Threats

  • Realistic Supervisor Liability Threats and Solutions

  • Constitutional Limits to the Use of Police Force

  • Force Documentation

  • Current Force Reporting Requirements

  • Evaluation of Police Force

This is a nuts and bolts class that avoids high-flown legal theories that are difficult to translate in the field.  Instead, this class gives you reasonable and instantly applicable methods of protecting your name, agency, and your financial assets after you did the job right.
