P. 206
Task: Training
Munger v. City of Glasgow, 227 F.3d 1082 (9 Cir. 2000).
th
It is not enough for an agency to merely have a policy that governs
officer actions; the agency must train the officers on the policy to
effectively avoid liability.
Walker v. City of New York, 974 F.2d 293 (2 nd Cir. 1992).
If the conduct of an officer is such that a common person would
know the right response without training, the agency would not be
required to conduct training on the matter. i.e. an agency does not
have to train officers not to commit perjury.
