CRMJ 3030 Liability and Risk Management
For many law enforcement agencies, risk management is a practice that seeks to identify and mitigate risk for both officers and the public. The student will study how law enforcement agencies, in the course of executing their duties, may face liability for misconduct, harm, or violation of rights done to the community. Risk management is a component of budget planning in law enforcement organizations. Every city, town, and municipality is vulnerable to risks associated with providing law enforcement services. One claim could devastate not only the local budget but also public trust. (3 lect.)
