The 2024 Widener Law Commonwealth Annual EMS Law and Policy Symposium is focused on issues of national significance in the provision of emergency medical services to ill or injured persons in the custody of law enforcement. EMS and law enforcement agencies most often work closely together in a manner that benefits the public, but recent high-profile national cases involving the deaths of individuals in custody raise important legal questions regarding medical control of a law enforcement scene, the rights of persons in custody to receive necessary emergency care, and the potential civil and criminal liability of both police and EMS responders.
