Police & Fire

Minnesotans benefit from the emergency services delivered by cities. Sometimes fire and police services are provided directly to residents, other times cities may collaborate with one another or a county for emergency services. Each of these services, though, presents a unique set of management and liability issues. LMCIT has developed materials and training to help members navigate these issues.

Fire Department Management and Liability Issues
A self-contained training kit is available on fire department management and liability issues. Topics covered in the 40-minute DVD include NFPA and response-time standards, fire relief associations and fire department checkbooks, alcohol response policies, alcohol sales for fundraising, sexual harassment prevention, physical fitness testing, and mutual aid. Handouts are included. The program was developed by LMCIT with the Minnesota State Fire Department Association, Minnesota State Fire Chiefs Association and the Minnesota Professional Fire Fighters Association.
