The podcast is hosted by Lamb McErlane Partner Christopher Gerber, Esq., with guests, PA Chiefs Association Executive Director, Scott Bohn, and former Police Chiefs Jerry Simpson and Jim Adams.  The In the Line of Fire podcast addresses a wide range of issues that pertain to Pennsylvania local government, law enforcement, and civil rights. Podcast Summary ·         Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association officials offer guidance on policies and best police practices ·         Chris and Police Association officials discuss police department governance and the roles of those in charge of police operations and administration  -- and the critical need for a proper “bridge” between the governing body and the Police Department to ensure accountability.  ·  Best practices on governance of police departments and enforcement of the subject policies --- which include: o   Effective communication up and down the chain of command, including the governing body; o   Evaluation of performance to ensure accountability; o   Training & counseling to ensure compliance with police; o   A fair and impartial procedure to impose discipline in the event of misconduct and/or neglect of duty;  ·         A Board could be sued for failing to supervise and train its police officers; it is called a Monell claim. A Monell claim allows individuals to sue municipalities and local government agencies (like police departments) for civil rights violations under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Established by the 1978 Supreme Court case Monell v. Department of Social Services, this doctrine holds entities liable if an official policy, custom, or practice—rather than just an individual officer's actions—caused the violation. ·         Annual training programs and review of police policy manuals are essential for the governing body--- especially after newly elected officials take office.   ·         The Pennsylvania Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission (PLEAC) is an excellent resource to ensure your department’s compliance with the law.  Get accredited, learn more here: www.pachiefs.org.   The program is brought to you by Lamb McErlane Partner Christopher Gerber, Esq. of the law firm of Lamb McErlane - a full-service regional law firm based in West Chester, PA. lambmcerlane.com Chris serves as a civil rights attorney licensed in PA and NJ.  He represents and advises public and private employers in connection with civil rights, labor and employment matters.

With the proliferation of on-line services, document preparation programs, and Google searches, anyone can get access to a form document and prepare a general financial power of attorney. But is that wise? Powers of Attorney are Powerful Documents. A general financial power of attorney (“Power of Attorney”) is a powerful legal document.  It can give tremendous authority to another person (the “Agent”), including the right to access your bank and investment accounts and to sell your property.  It is not something you should enter into lightly.  Listen to Lamb McErlane PC attorney Stephanie Pahides Kalogredis & legal staff assistant Michelle Long to learn more about what you need to know regarding a power of attorney. #estateplanning #poa #powerofattorney #wills #trusts ____________________________________________________________________ For more information or to discuss your estate planning needs, please contact Stephanie Pahides Kalogredis at Lamb McErlane PC.   Stephanie concentrates her practice in estate planning and estate & trust administration and wealth transfer and succession planning.

Police roadside searches of vehicles just became more difficult for law enforcement in Pennsylvania. On December 22, 2020, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court handed proponents of individual privacy rights a major victory when it narrowed the right of law enforcement to conduct roadside searches of automobiles in Pennsylvania. In Commonwealth v. Alexander, the Court held that warrantless vehicle searches require BOTH probable cause and exigent circumstances and that law enforcement may no longer rely on the inherent mobility of a vehicle (recognized under federal law) as an exigent circumstance to permit warrantless searches based on probable cause. Now, where law enforcement only has probable cause to search a roadside vehicle, and no exigent circumstances are present, a search warrant must be secured.
