When Overwhelmed is an Understatement – Knowledge is Power

“I’m overwhelmed” has never been echoed amongst LEOs across all agencies more than it is right now.  Officers are concerned over decisions and actions/inactions in the performance of duties and/or managing incarcerated individuals, parolees, subjects, targets, COVID related crimes, etc. Supervising agents are also concerned about managing employees.

According to Tony Vergnetti, FEDS President, “Circumstances surrounding federal employee decisions related to a problem, crisis or tragedy, at a later date, will be scrutinized with 20/20 hindsight to determine if something else should or could have been done.” 

There has never been a more critical time to educate your people about Professional Liability Insurance than now.  FEDS Protection has several articles of interest:

Federal employee decisions, actions and inactions are beginning to result in finger pointing, allegations, and threats of investigations.  Political posturing, blame games, and scapegoating are sure to follow. Unfortunately, this is the nature of civil service, even when facing an unprecedented worldwide pandemic.
