| Agencies should have these policies in place and conduct training to include off-duty scenarios and related off duty equipment. The courts have already deemed administrations have an affirmative duty to train officers that they employ, in this very topic. A failure to do so, and any injury or death to a plaintiff, can result in a personal liability of the admin. |

In the academy, were you taught to draw a weapon from concealment in plain clothes/off duty garb and engage a target? No, but many of us tend to carry off duty, so its a valid question and area of training. |
