  • Registration Closed

In 2020 It is not sufficient for law enforcement personnel to confine their constitutional comfort levels and knowledge base to the Fourth and Fifth Amendments. Rather, in a time when citizens and employees alike are testing the waters of the First Amendment, law enforcement agencies must be prepared to respond to such challenges in a constitutionally-effective manner. The First Amendment Summit focused on the basic principles of First Amendment law to include crowd management, religious freedoms, social media, and recording police. This seminar helps provide your agency with the confidence to respond in a constitutionally-minded manner governed by proper policy, training, and operations.

  • Describe mass demonstrations that necessitate employing First Amendment crowd control techniques
  • Understanding legal application to protecting civil rights pursuant to the First Amendment
  • Define policy requirements for managing First Amendment related activities.
