Law Enforcement, Fire and Emergency Medical Service personnel are currently doing an amazing job on behalf of our nation to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Daigle Law Group is here to assist you these challenging times, and quite frankly, the last thing you need to be doing now is writing policies and procedures when you are already taxed efforts and resources are best committed elsewhere. Your time is important so this webinar will be a quick hit to address policies and procedures related to operations, employment issues and tactical response in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Appropriate response protocols are still in a state of change and the purpose of the webinar is not to give you a definitive protocol to follow. Certainly, specific details for your response plan will be based on local and state laws and advice you receive from local counsel. We are, however, asking our departments to take the time to develop a Response Plan for their respective jurisdictions. As you develop your plan, it is important that you involve your public services colleagues in this endeavor. Involve your fire, EMS, public health and hospital personnel in plan development and have the final plan reviewed by counsel. Failure to do so will result in a fractured response, inefficient use of public resources, exposure of your personnel and possible legal claims.
