School-Based Law Enforcement from a Risk Manager's Lens
Saturday March 22, 2025 1:45pm - 2:45pm CDT
School districts are increasingly taking action to provide school-based law enforcement (SBLE) services to enhance their safety & security programs and meet legislative requirements outlined in HB 3. Have you considered the impact on your worker’s compensation and liability programs? The rules apply differently for law enforcement officers, meaning school district exposure is also different.
