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.”
