Content of the event

The public prosecutor on your doorstep. A scenario nobody wants to face. Yet it is not only private homes but also town halls and government offices that can be the subject of searches and other measures taken by law enforcement agencies.

 

This often raises the question: What should we do?

The online seminar provides answers to these questions.

 

Furthermore, it broadens the perspective on one’s own administration.

The question is: what should be done if the administration itself becomes aware of grounds for suspicion? This online seminar provides information on the necessary actions and available options, outlines reporting procedures and highlights the resulting consequences. Must disciplinary proceedings be initiated, or should a criminal complaint even be lodged?

Can the employee be placed on „compulsory leave“?

Is it permissible or compulsory to respond to press enquiries?

The explanations are supplemented by practical insights

 – so that you’re prepared should the „worst-case scenario“ occur.

The brains behind the event.
