Series: Lawsuits Against LEOs-Introduction

This will be a series of posts devoted to the legal process surrounding a suit against a LEO. My goal is to shed some light on issues such as why people sue LEOs, what can someone get in a lawsuit against a LEO, what can the LEO do to protect her assets, who defends the LEO and many other questions that LEOs have.

I will work to post the series consecutively. However, I may interrupt the series to post an article that is more timely or based upon a request from a follower. My goal is to help LEOs understand the process without going through a lawsuit. I wil not attempt to scare anyone like so many academy instructors. Trust me, the lawsuit will be scary enough!
