All aspects of law enforcement are fraught with risks.  These exposures grow in complexity and are subject to a veritable onslaught of litigation.  Yet, you can turn the tide against the liability tsunami and shield your agency by futureproofing it.  Don’t wait for a lawsuit to fix problems.  Mitigate them by developing a top-down risk management approach.

Multifaceted agency operations require a multifaceted risk management approach.  LGRMS will support you and your agency in developing comprehensive solutions.  The first annual Law Enforcement Risk Management Summit will offer three courses that address high-risk agency operation exposure.
