Police Liability: Strategies for Risk Management and Operational Excellence

Join us for a comprehensive seminar designed specifically for Trust Member police departments, focused on mitigating liability and strengthening risk management practices in law enforcement. This session will explore critical topics including lessons learned from recent liability cases, the evolving role of police standards and accreditation, and the operational value of early warning systems. Special attention will be given to the risks associated with supervisory personnel who may lack sufficient training or experience to appropriately oversee today’s complex police operations/investigations, and how their decisions can impact agency liability and public trust.

This seminar will provide practical guidance and actionable insights for command staff, supervisors, and municipal leaders committed to upholding high standards of accountability and professionalism in policing. Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your department’s risk management strategies and protect your officers, community, and municipality.
