Right to Carry Resources
If you would like to explore resources on the Law Enforcement Officers Safety
Act of 2004, here are 2 web sites that you might find helpful:
www.LMNC.org/lmcit/home.cfm for
a briefing prepared by the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust. This 3
page document was sent to municipalities who receive insurance protection
against liability from the Trust. The paper candidly outlines what this insurer
believes are the obligations, liability risks, insurance coverage concerns, and
policy recommendations for governmental entities regarding the Law Enforcement
Officers Safety Act of 2004.
For a draft of a "specimen policy" on this law prepared by Americans for
Effective Law Enforcement (AELE), the non-profit enforcement educational
association, check in at
www.aele.org/New.html. Of
particular interest to retirees will be the recommended provision for a
liability waiver that makes an ex-officer personally responsible "for all acts
taken when carrying a concealed firearm". The waiver includes a retiree's signed
agreement to indemnify the agency for any related damages it suffers.
The sample policy should be considered a "working document" subject to revision,
says AELE's executive director, Wayne Schmidt. At the AELE site you can also
link to related articles, bulletins and documents, as well as the statute
itself. This site also includes a recent memo from the U.S. Attorney General
explaining how the law applies to current and retired federal officers. You can
reach this document directly in Adobe Acrobat format at:
