PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE STANDARDS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT
Although there is virtual unanimity in America that law enforcement
work is physically demanding and that officers must be physically prepared
to safely discharge their duties, that is the point at which agreement
ends. Concerns over liability, adverse impact, discrimination, the ADA,
Title VII, fairness and a host of other issues lead administrators in
radically different directions - from the complete abandonment of performance
or fitness standards to imposition of rigorous ones with a single standard
for all. This seminar is devoted to identifying the options and associated
risks, legal and practical; the pros and cons associated with each option;
and the identification of realistic goals and their implementation.
Safe, effective law enforcing is what is at issue, and notwithstanding
the contrary belief, doing nothing is not the safest course of action. Target Audience: Course Length: Featured Topics:
