Law Enforcement’s Dealing with Persons of Diminished capacity to include the mentally ill, the emotionally disturbed and suicidal persons. A post San Francisco v. Sheehan viewpoint.
This session would focus on plaintiff’s attack on officer use of force when dealing with person’s of diminished capacity. I note that the American with Disabilities Act’s application is still up in the air follow SCOTUS decision that the ADA portion of San Francisco’s appeal was improvidently granted. The session will also look at training that plaintiff will utilize as spring board for failure to train claim as well as to show an inappropriate response by the involved officers.
Speaker: Jack Ryan
