Law enforcement officers are constantly exposed to risk. Not just in the field, but also from potential incident-related lawsuits. In cases of litigation, policies are the first line of defense for the city or officers.
However, these instances are often what exposes an agency’s lack of policies (and therefore increased liability).
Vector Solutions’ new course, Policies and Procedures in Law Enforcement, was created for this very reason. Available through the TargetSolutions training platform, this online course reviews the fundamentals of effective policies and their importance to the operations of law enforcement agencies.
As law enforcement officers have to make split-second decisions, it’s crucial to establish and reinforce clear, concise policies. Policies are how organizations ensure compliance to federal, state, local and their organization’s own regulations and best practices.
