Winter 2011-12 In-Service Course Catalog
42 USC, Section 1983, is a federal statute which allows citizens/suspects to successfully sue
officers for violation of their civil rights. Officers are becoming increasingly more
vulnerable to suit under Section 1983. Consequently, they must familiarize themselves with
the rules related to civil rights actions, particularly those based on 4th Amendment rights.
Officers attending this class will learn how to avoid these suits and, if sued, how to avoid
liability.
This course will be taught by: Mr. Dale Anderson,Attoney at Law.
Employment-related litigation is on the rise. More and more claims are being filed and costs
are increasing. According to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC),
fiscal year 2010 witnessed the record-breaking filing of 99,922 discrimination charges. This
number represented the highest single-year number of charges in the agency's 45-year
history. To minimize potential exposure, every law enforcement agency should understand
and practice risk management. An essential component of risk management is to stay current
with legal landmines in a variety of employment areas.
Topics to be addressed include:
- New FMLA regulations - now what?
- Top mistakes made when compensating employees
- Policing off-duty conduct: how far can you go?
- 8 tips to reduce worker's compensation claims
