Since the police are involved in risky deisions، officers become subject to a wide range of investigations، complaints، and legal suits against them; when they fail to perform them or abuse their authority، the possibility of civil liability increases. Police may be responsible in the following cases: civil liability for police use of excessive force، police civil liability for failure to protect، police civil liability for negligent pursuits، police civil liability for failure to arrest intoxicated drivers، police civil liability for failure to prevent detainee suicide and the liability of traffic officers. This study tries to elaborate on the legal foundations for police civil liability and exemptions.
