Employee Internet & E-mail Usage / Online Social Networking Webinar Computer usage, including e-mail, Internet access and social networking, is an area of concern for Georgia counties and authorities. The number of lawsuits relating to alleged improper computer usage is increasing. Information found in county computers can be used as evidence in court proceedings, and is potentially embarrassing to elected officials and county staff.
Local Government Risk Management Services is offering a one-hour webinar on August 11, 2010 that is free to ACCG Property and Liability Insurance members. There is a $25 charge for non-members. Elected officials, department heads or supervisors are encouraged to participate in this valuable training opportunity. For additional information, or to register for this webinar please click here.
ACCG Insurance Programs Conducting TASER Survey TASER’s and other electronic control devices are effective and useful tools for Georgia law enforcement personnel. They are used often without incident, however, improper usage or a lack of training by the user can create a significant liability to the county.
Local Government Risk Management Services (LGRMS) is conducting a short survey on behalf of ACCG Insurance Programs to determine if there is an interest in TASER training other than that which is currently available.
A questionnaire was recently sent to counties and law enforcement throughout the state. County commissioners are requested to encourage someone in the Sheriff’s Office to respond to this survey.
