FOCUS FOR FORCE FORUM 2027

LAW ENFORCEMENT IMMUNITY: THE PATH TO NO BILLS, DISMISSALS, AND QUALIFIED IMMUNITY

Few issues affecting law enforcement are more important—or more misunderstood—than immunity. Yet for an officer involved in a critical incident, the debate over immunity isn’t academic. It can determine whether a case ends before trial or becomes a years-long fight that threatens freedom, career, reputation, and family.

Force Forum 2027 will examine the path to successful outcomes in criminal and civil cases, from no bills and dismissals to immunity hearings and qualified immunity. We will explore current case law, proven defense strategies, expert preparation, coordination between criminal, civil, and administrative proceedings, and the legislative advocacy necessary to preserve these critical legal protections.


Through real cases, firsthand accounts from officers who have lived the fight, and insight from attorneys, experts, law enforcement leaders, and behavioral health professionals, we will examine what works, what fails, and what must happen long before anyone walks into a courtroom. And, as always, we will confront the very real toll these battles take on LEOs, their families, their agencies, and the professionals who stand beside them.

“The entire event was spectacular. Maybe the most simultaneously in-depth and holistic law enforcement training I’ve ever attended.”
