While Covid-19 has continued to limit our member training options, we have been able to transition to virtual training and plan to also get back to in-person training events as soon as possible. We are here to support your entity, so we are making every effort to offer relevant training opportunities in ways that you and your staff can take advantage of them.

On February 11 we co-hosted a 90-minute virtual training with the Law Firm of Brennan, Mann and Diamond on Constitutional Policing: Recent Trends in 1^st, 4^th, 13^th and 14^th Amendment Claims against Public Entity Defendants.
