Use of Force Policy in 2020: Informing and Engaging Concerned Stakeholders

The national dialogue on police policy, especially as it pertains to use of force, has evolved and increased in intensity. Today, that conversation includes voices calling for reform to address systemic bias and excessive force as well as voices advocating for guidance that reflects the realities of police work. At Lexipol, we have been engaged in the challenging and inspiring work of creating law enforcement policies for nearly two decades. This session explores Lexipol’s current policy positions on sensitive use of force issues, information about how our policies were developed, and strategies law enforcement professionals can use to engage community members in the shared goal of creating safer communities.

Why Fire Departments Get Sued

Join fire service experts Billy Goldfeder and Curt Varone for analysis from a database of more than 7,500 legal proceedings filed against career and volunteer fire departments over the past 10 years.

Attendees will learn the top four reasons career and volunteer fire departments face legal proceedings, key differences between career and volunteer fire department liability and why limiting liability starts with limiting harm.
