Press Release
Washington, DC (June 1, 2019) - FEDS Protection
now provides its professional liability insurance to Federal Task Force
Officers (TFOs). FEDS Protection appreciates the dangerous work and sacrifices these
officers make alongside their federal counterparts and recognize that TFOs are
vulnerable to the very same allegations and lawsuits that face Federal Law
Enforcement Officers. These lawsuits, commonly referred to as Bivens
actions against federal employees, and 1983 actions against state and local
LEOs, usually involve an alleged violation under the Fourth Amendment claiming
an unlawful search or seizure or some other constitutional tort (i.e., 1st, 5th
or 8th Amendment violations) arising out of an enforcement action.
In
our litigious society, liability insurance often becomes necessary when there
is a major enforcement event, operational incident, or one that results (or is
alleged to result) in safety concerns, public alarm, injury, death, oversight
or a security vulnerability or breach. Unfortunately, politicians, the media, special interest groups, and
investigators often start looking for anything that might make a case or a
headline. Without proper protection in place, it is cost prohibitive to
defend against a decision, action or inaction –even if ultimately
vindicated.
The
good news is Federal Task Force Officers are now eligible forthe very
same protection at the very same price as Federal Law Enforcement Officers.
