Creating an affirmative duty to act

Reference no: EM133484434

Question: Special relationships can exist between a person and law enforcement creating an affirmative duty to act, such as when the police promise to protect the target of a threat (i.e., the Witness Protection Program), or when they assure a caller that they are responding to their request for assistance. Failure to do so can result in civil liability when reliance on those specific promises of protection causes the person to forego steps to protect themselves.
