OMAG is proud to share this replay of PoolSide, a podcast produced in partnership with Bechamps & Associates and GEM (Government Entities Mutual.)
In this episode, host Michelle Bechamps of Bechamps & Associates sits down with Jack Ryan, attorney and co director of the Legal and Liability Risk Management Institute, to examine the evolving landscape of law enforcement liability and leadership.
Together, they discuss:
- Trends driving higher claim frequency and larger verdicts
- Pursuit related liability and policy considerations
- Wrongful conviction risks and the importance of documentation and evidence handling
- The growing role of training, supervision, and legal updates
- Practical strategies to rebuild public trust and strengthen agencies from within
For Oklahoma municipalities, these insights reinforce an important truth. Proactive leadership, strong policy, and consistent training are essential to reducing preventable exposure and protecting the communities we serve.
As a member owned risk pool dedicated to protecting public interest, OMAG believes we are strongest when we learn and grow together. When one community strengthens its practices, the entire pool benefits.
