How Law Enforcement Immunity Impacts Victims

We want to encourage people to be public service officers, including police officers, state troopers, and sheriffs, by creating an environment that favors their safety in many ways. These officers are doing hazardous and dangerous jobs and, as a society, we have decided they should be afforded some level of immunity. This means that if they’re engaged in certain conduct, and someone is injured or killed, they may have levels of immunity should a lawsuit be filed.
