Time: 01:00 pm
Description:
What events and recreational activities does your organization allow in your parks? Do you have the proper policies and procedures in place to minimize your liability risk? Please join us for this Partnering for Success Webinar discussing the risks and liability issues surrounding parks and recreation operations. In this one-hour session, we will discuss the importance of adhering to the Handbook for Public Playground Safety as the standard for defense. We will stress the importance of documented inspections, frequency of inspections, and comprehensive training in mitigating liability risks. Participants will gain a greater understanding of the basis of liability, including the Tennessee Governmental Tort Liability Act (TGTLA), along with the elements of negligence — particularly those highlighting the heightened duty of care owed to children.

Police Risk Management Conference
Time: 08:00 am
Description:
Putting A Vest on Claims - Litigation - Losses In 2022, there was $ 95,292,194.00 in Mega Law Enforcement Settlements. Mega is $ 200,000.00 or more. Over the last two decades, law enforcement agencies and individual law enforcement officers in the United States have been the subject of intense public scrutiny. The litigious condition of American society has been a key factor in this scrutiny. The very nature of police work, i.e., Use of Force, High-Speed Driving Pursuits, and Arrest, lends itself to complaints and lawsuits from those whom law enforcement officers have contact with. Law enforcement agencies and officers must have a working knowledge of developing laws relating to police liability and discipline. Agencies and officers must be made aware that they may be held accountable for decisions made by a court having jurisdiction over them. The developing law guides police training, operations, individual conduct, and operations. A failure to recognize the importance of this area of the law can lead to serious monetary consequences for Law Enforcement Agencies, individual police officers, supervisors, police executives, and insurance providers. In extreme cases, a failure to follow the rules set forth by the courts can result in criminal sanctions.
