Description:
On January 1, 2024, Minnesota became the 20th state to enact a set of laws called Extreme Risk Protection Orders (Red Flag Laws) as a tool to reduce the risk of gun violence by people with serious mental health and safety issues. In this class we are going to examine the new statutes from various perspectives including, mental health, law enforcement, the courts and a variety of practical and legal implications. The statutes leave many unanswered questions and gaps as to how this system should work and in this class we will dig deeply into the details of the statute from all of these perspectives. This class should be of interest to law enforcement, attorneys, mental health practitioners and those who have friends or family members who are providers or consumers in the mental health community.
