Description
 
This book titled “Supervisory and Municipal Liability in Law Enforcement” was published by
Looseleaf Law Publications, Inc. in April 2019 (www.LooseleafLaw.com/800-647-5547). It was
written to help protect law enforcement supervisors including police chiefs, sheriffs and other
police supervisory officials and their municipalities from civil liability for constitutional rights
violations for failure to properly train, supervise, discipline and hire subordinate officers. The
book explains the legal principles involved in civil rights lawsuits filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C.
§1983 and contains many actual case studies designed to show law enforcement management
officials how they may be vulnerable in the real world of police work. It also offers solid and
practical recommendations to build firewalls to protect against liability.
