Book Info

Law enforcement is a high risk, high liability profession. But while a pro-active law enforcement agency leader cannot eliminate all liability, it can and should be managed. The decisions that risk some degree of legal liability should be made ethically and intentionally, rather than through negligence or lack of vigilance. And this conversation about liability should not be limited to legal issues alone but extended to a call for enhancing agency operations through better leadership, ethical policing, and enhancing public trust.

In law enforcement, both your greatest liability and your greatest asset are your people. Therefore, the critical tasks of ethical hiring, training, supervising, and discipline are critical to minimizing liability and maximizing operational effectiveness.

In this book, readers will be introduced to practical strategies necessary, at every key step of personnel management, to minimize legal liability and the damage to public trust that generally accompanies it. This book is intended for all law enforcement supervisors, those who aspire to serve in a supervisory position, and those rank-and-file officers who possess an interest in better understanding the issues that impact their agency’s operations.
