With the unprecedented scrutiny placed on law enforcement agencies surrounding issues of racial bias, it is more important than ever to ensure that agency hiring, discipline, promotions and other personnel decisions are legally defensible and transparent.  The appearance of discriminatory motives in law enforcement personnel decisions can be extremely costly in the court of law and in the court of public opinion.

In this webinar, Attorney Matt Dolan will discuss:

• Creating recruiting and hiring processes that are as transparent and unbiased as possible
• Making disciplinary and promotional decisions that are based on performance and qualifications rather than unlawful factors, including race
• Managing complaints of racial discrimination and harassment inside the agency
• Going beyond legal requirements in order to create and maintain a diverse workforce that is sustainable
