LoRusso is known internationally as the expert who wrote 'the book' on what law enforcement officers and their families face after an officer involved shooting and how their legal representative can best advocate for them. His presentation is one of the most sought after at the two-day conference. He covers everything that both legal counselors and law enforcement officers should be aware of in the aftermath of an officer involved shooting in the post 2020 world that has seen a surge in anti-law enforcement attitudes. LoRusso offers the details on how to navigate and survive in this new world that law enforcement is confronting.
"I am honored to be a seminar panelist at the NFOP's Legal Counselors Seminar," said Lance LoRusso. "Law enforcement officers are the unsung heroes of America. Very often law enforcement officers face a violent altercation and they and their families are unprepared for what happens next. That is why their legal counselor need to be prepared to be proactive and know how to navigate the legal and administrative hearings that ensue. We have seen lately how law enforcement has fallen under attack in the media and by politicians for performing their duties during a deadly alteration."
