Canine Liability 360

"Prevailing in Crisis Situations"

Thursday, October 28, 2010    0800-1700 

Cook County Sheriff's Police Training Academy

Triton College, 2000 North 5th Ave, River Grove, IL

   This comprehensive 8-hour class is recommended for and serves as an essential phase for both the K9 handler and K9 supervisor to assist in preparing for their potential "legal defense" in the event of a lawsuit and prevailing by examining TAC Team's "360 Degrees of Responsibility" involving a police service dog. K9 handlers, K9 supervisors, managers, patrol supervisors and SWAT team leaders (who deploy with K9 teams) from the same agency are encouraged to attend together so that everyone involved with their respective police dog program can learn information and hear recommendations simultaneously so everyone leaves with a better understanding of each other's duties and responsibilities. A scenario-based exercise will be included as part of the report writing/supervision section. Information shared will also assist to justify the retention of your K9 program during budget "cutback" considerations in tough economic times.

 This class will address:

Case law

Department policy

Operational manual

Use of force

Selection and retention

Training

Documentation

"Justify Your K9 Unit"

Deployments / Debriefs

Supervision

Evidence collection/retention

Off-duty care & compensation

Report writing

Discipline
