Civil Liability for Special Response Teams (Online)

Special Response Teams, whether full-time teams or part-time units, participate in a great deal of training to sharpen their skills and maintain readiness to respond to some of the most dangerous situations that law enforcement agencies will encounter. These "call-outs" involve a great deal of responsibility for team members and their administrators. While these operations often involve high risks, they can also involve high liability. From the tactical response plan that is executed to the selection process of your team members, all aspects of the Special Response Team's actions can and will be subjected to legal scrutiny. Throughout this course, students will review court cases pertaining to Special Response Team actions and understand the rulings from the court regarding those actions, in an attempt to avoid or minimize civil liability issues.

This is a 16-hour course in online format, utilizing the Moodle Learning Management System.  The course is self-paced and is open for 60 days.  There are no deadlines for assignment completion other than having all assignments completed by the end date.  This course was developed and will be facilitated by Andrew Tallmer, Attorney and founder of Law Enforcement Legal Advice and Training, LLC.
