Dolan Consulting Group

Corrections officers who choose to accept a supervisory position are agreeing, whether they realize it or not, to enter the world of risk management. The vitally important skills that they have honed as officers will still be foundational to what they do as supervisors, but they will be required to add tools to their toolbox.  Today’s increased scrutiny placed upon public safety professionals has not excluded corrections officers, and supervisors are crucial to limiting liability, maintaining organizational standards and protecting the public trust. 

In this webinar, Attorney Matt Dolan will utilize case law and real-world case studies from the world of corrections to illustrate the most common and costly liability issues confronting supervisors in this area and effective strategies to minimize that liability. 

In this webinar, topics covered will include:

                           -  What did you know?

                           -  When did you know it?

                           -  What did you do?

•  “Inspect What You Expect”—taking on the role of early detection and intervention
• The Just Cause Doctrine and consistent employee discipline
• The “Supervisor Liability Balancing Act” between holding employees accountable and respecting employee rights in the workplace
