DIFFICULT ISSUES FACING LAW ENFORCEMENT:
DEALING WITH THE MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY DISABLED AND COGNITIVE AND DEVELOPMENTALLY CHALLENGED AND THE ROLE OF TITLE II OF THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT IN LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES
Law enforcement is faced with ever-increasing and complex challenges involving community members with a variety of needs related to mental health, cognitive and/or developmental issues, and physical disabilities. These situations are also prone to gain the attention of media on the local, state, and even national level, and are of increasing concern for communities throughout our nation. AMRRP encourages attendance at this presentation which will focus on the legal and policy aspects of law enforcement interaction with persons fitting these diverse categories.
This presentation is aimed at preparing command staff and training officers to provide instruction to their sworn personnel on issues, including:

Legal and policy implications in dealing with persons suffering from mental illness or challenged by cognitive or developmental disabilities;
How issues involving these segments of the population result in litigation, and what a typical lawsuit in this area looks like;
Understanding how Title II of the ADA applies to law enforcement activities and how the courts assess law enforcement liability under the ADA.

Course content is approved by AZPOST for credit for sworn attendees.

THE CHANGING LANDSCAPE FOR LIABILITY RELATED TO PRETRIAL DETAINEES
WHAT POLICE AGENCIES NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE CURRENT STATE OF THE LAW
HOW TO AVOID LAWSUITS ARISING FROM PRETRIAL DETAINEE DEATH OR INJURY
Presentation from 10:00- noon
Follow up Q&A at 1:30 p.m.
Ever since the Supreme Court’s 2015 decision in Kingsley v. Hendrickson, the legal landscape for pretrial detainee death or injury liability has changed, and evolved. The truth is: if your agency operates a jail, detention cell, or other holding facility, you will detain persons representing all segments of society – from hardened felons to professionals with no criminal history at all. Pretrial detainees may also include community members with a variety of needs related to mental health and developmental issues, or physical disabilities. Understanding the current standards for imposing liability, and how to avoid lawsuits, is crucial for all agencies that operate any facility where suspects are held – even temporary holds awaiting transport to more established county or state facilities.
AMRRP encourages attendance at this presentation for all Police Chiefs, Command personnel, and Training Supervisors responsible for instructing or implementing policies, procedures, and practices related to city/town jails, detention cells, or holding cells or like-enclosures. Course content is approved by AZPOST for credit for sworn attendees.
This presentation is aimed at preparing Chiefs, command staff and training officers to provide instruction to their sworn personnel on issues, including:

Legal and policy implications and principles in dealing with persons held in city/town jails, detention cells or holding cells;
Understanding how Title II of the ADA applies to law enforcement activities related to temporary custody of suspects;
Recent judicial decisions and case law dealing with pretrial detainee death, injury, and medical issues;
Tips on how to train and instruct personnel to maximize detainee safety and avoid liability for pretrial detainee deaths or injuries.

Speakers:

Jim Jellison will present and hold a post-lunch question and answer session on this topic. Jim is the managing attorney for Jellison Law Offices, PLLC, providing police legal advice, and training and litigation services in the areas of law enforcement liability, constitutional law and general government liability. Routinely litigating cases in the federal courts, Jim has experience handling jail cases and ADA-based discrimination and retaliation issues – at trial and on appeal – against governmental entities, their agencies, and departments.
Commander (ret) Sean Stewart will co-present.

AMRRP has received numerous requests for information about PROP 207 and COVID-19 vaccinations. In order to get you as much information as possible, we have arranged for a Risk Management Roundtable featuring Steve Coleman and Christina Estes- Werther. Staff will also share two new HR Sentry templates developed in regards to the administration of COVID-19 vaccines. HR Sentry is available to all AMRRP Members, free of cost.
We are attaching below a brief summary of Prop 207, in order to give some basic information between now and the Webinar.

On November 3, 2020, voters approved Proposition 207, also known as the “Smart and Safe Arizona Act,” which was effective on November 30, 2020. The law legalizes the possession and consumption of recreational marijuana by allowing adults 21 years of age or older to use, possess, or transfer up to one ounce of marijuana and cultivate for personal use not more than six marijuana plants at a primary residence.
Prop 207 does not restrict the rights of employers to maintain a drug-and-alcohol workplace, to have workplace policies that restrict marijuana use by employees or prospective employees, or to otherwise prohibit or regulate conduct allowed by Prop 207 when such conduct is on or in the employer’s property.
Prop 207 does not limit any privilege or right of a qualifying patient or designated caregiver under the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act (AMMA) and those provisions remain in effect. While AMMA provides that a qualifying patient or designated caregiver cannot be discriminated against based on certain conditions, Prop 207 does not grant employment protections to recreational marijuana users. Therefore, existing workplace policies that prohibit drugs or alcohol likely do not require changes in light of Prop 207. Updates are only necessary if an employer seeks to allow marijuana use or possession on the employer’s property.
