Thursday, May 23, 2024
9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Location:  Delaware Valley Trusts, 719 Dresher Road, Horsham, PA

Description:  Operating a police department is one of the most important and costly services provided by local governments. More than ever elected and appointed officials are facing questions about increased costs and the demand for services. This course will provide an overview of the legal framework in which police departments work in PA and present an overview of the elements necessary for an effective police department operation.

Topic overview: Organization, structure and costs associated with police operations; review of effective policies and procedures; the police hiring process and the role of elected officials in this process; high risk critical tasks; and review of recent cases. Attorney Christopher P. Gerber with the law firm of Siana Law will explain where to start, along with former Police Captain Ashley Heiberger who will review best practices in policy and operations to help you reduce the risk of liability for your municipality.
