Welcome to the Don’t Get Emplawyered: Practical Employment Law Guidance for Dealing with Injured Officers training course. Officers and deputies will get injured. That is well established and understood as a risk inherent in the law enforcement profession. However, agencies must be poised to respond to those injuries and to take certain precautions to protect officers from injuries, consistent with state and federal law. This seminar will examine Workers’ Compensation issues, contemporary trends in disability discrimination law, a discussion on defective training, and best practices in agency training protocols.
This course will also focus on areas including:
- Workers’ Compensation and legal compliance
- Disability discrimination trends and protections
- Training flaws and best practice improvements
Our training experts recommend this course for all officers, ranks, and command staff.
