Task: Training

th
Munger v. City of Glasgow, 227 F.3d 1082 (9 Cir. 2000).
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.
