California Supreme Court
Irma Ramirez v. City of Gardena…
August 13, 2018236 Cal. Rptr. 3d 374
Summary
The court held that statutory immunity for public agencies involved in police pursuits requires the agency's written pursuit policy to require peace officers to certify that they received, read, and understood the policy, but does not require proof that every officer actually completed the certification. The court affirmed summary judgment for the City and disapproved contrary authority to the extent inconsistent with this interpretation. No separate opinions were filed.
