Abstract
The diverse nature and importance of this subject matter create a number of administrative implications for law enforcement managers, trainers, and line officers. The preceding chapters have described the complexity of sudden in-custody deaths by explaining the nature of the problem, the physiological, psychological, and pharmacological issues, use-of-force and restraint concerns, liability issues, and investigation issues. Collectively, administrative personnel in police and correctional agencies, who can direct their line officers in how to best respond to these encounters, should address these factors. In order to place their agencies in the best position to defend against a litigation claim associated with a sudden incustody death, administrators should also address these issues.
