Complacency is perhaps the most deadly trait in public safety. There is no such thing as a “routine” call for service. No two situations, shifts, or months are ever the same. Yet, over time handling numerous critical emergencies allows public safety personnel to fall into a false sense of security in the processing of less urgent situations. During this interactive workshop, attendees take a deep dive into various liability concepts where complacency has been a factor. This workshop will extensively use case studies to illustrate where complacency has affected the various public safety disciplines.
