Training Video – Lou Reiter Presents: Understanding Garrity and Administrative Compelled Statements: An Update on How It Can Impact Your Career

Description

Course Overview:

• Garrity was decided by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1967. So why hasn’t the law enforcement community got this straightened out and some definitive guidelines established? The law is clear, but its application isn’t! For many years it really had a limited effect on police operations and police employee careers. The biggest change has been in the last 10 years with the advent of a more progressive role by prosecutors, the successes of exoneration groups such as The Innocence Project, and investigations and consent decrees by state and Federal DOJ units. This update webinar will highlight some of the most pressing issues for adjudication and
  employee protections.

• This webinar will address:
  • What this case is and its application to police agency operations?
  • The changes in the prosecutorial environment and its impact on individual officers.
  • The basics of a reasonable written policy for your police agency.
  • Why public safety agencies need to consider the reasonableness allowing employees to
  have representation during these administrative compelled statements and how to
  develop a workable framework for what the representative can actually do during the
  interview.
  • Steps individual employees should take to protect themselves and their law enforcement
  careers.
