Task: Training and Supervision
Perrin v. Gentner, 177 F.Supp.2d 1115 (D.Nevada 2001).
An agency may be liable for the conduct of an officer when the
agency fails to adequately guard against constitutional injuries
through training and supervision.
“ A law enforcement agency ’ s policy may be inferred from
widespread practices or evidence of repeated constitutional violations
for which the errant municipal officers were not discharged or
reprimanded.”
