Police Auxiliary Application

Please check to indicate you agree: *

I hereby acknowledge my complete understanding that the standby law enforcement assignment I am volunteering for, carries with it the requirement that I will, without questions, obey and execute to the best of my ability the legal orders or those designated to supervise and commend my activities: that I am to complete all training courses; and that any violation or disregard of the Rules and Regulations of my organization will be cause for disciplinary action or dismissal. Furthermore, I understand that any false statements intentionally made in my application disqualifies me for membership in the Milwaukee Police Auxiliary Organization. I understand that in the course of normal procedures, my present and past employers will be contacted.
Release and Waiver of Liability Agreement PLEASE READ PRIOR TO SIGNING This Release and Waiver of Liability (the "Release") executed by the undersigned releases the City of Milwaukee and each of its directors, officers, employees, and agents (collectively the "City") from potential liability arising from my participation in the Police Auxiliaries Program (the "Program"). I understand that the scope of my relationship with the City is limited to voluntary participation in the Program and that no compensation is expected in return for my participation; that the City will not provide any benefits traditionally associated with employment to me; and that I am responsible for my own insurance coverage in the event of injury or illness as a result of my services to the City.
Waiver and Release: I release, forever discharge, and hold harmless the City from any and all liability, claims, and demands which arise or may hereafter arise from my participation in the Program by virtue of the City's negligence. I understand and acknowledge that this Release discharges the City from any liability or claim for negligence that I may have against the City with respect to bodily injury, personal injury, illness, death, or property damage that may result from my participation in the Program.
Insurance: I understand that the City does not assume any responsibility for or obligation to provide me with financial or other assistance, including but not limited to medical, health, or disability benefits or insurance. I expressly waive any such claim for compensation or liability on the part of the City beyond what may be offered freely by the City in the event of injury or medical expenses incurred by me.
Assumption of Risk: I understand that the Program may include activities that may be hazardous to me by virtue of the fact that the Program potentially involves the use of City uniforms, interaction with the public, traffic and crowd control, transportation in City vehicles, potential training and use of basic defense and arrest tactics, and other associated risks. I acknowledge that participating in the Program comes with risk and expressly assume that risk and release the City from all liability associated with my participation in the Program.
Third Party Claims. I understand that I am not an agent of the City. I further understand that the City is not agreeing to indemnify, defend, or hold me harmless for any of my acts or omissions, regardless of whether they are in the course of participating in the Program. Any liability that results from my acts or omissions is solely my responsibility and I agree to indemnify and to hold harmless the City with regard to any claim or expenses including attorneys' fees and other costs of defending any claim by a third party that results from my acts or omissions.
Photographic Release: I grant and convey to the City all right, title, and interests in any and all photographs, images, video, or audio recordings of me or my likeness or voice made by the City in connection with the Program.
Choice of Law, Venue, and Jurisdiction: This Release shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of Wisconsin. Any litigation relating to this Release must be brought in the state and federal courts having jurisdiction in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, and I consent to the jurisdiction of such courts.
Waiver ofthe Right to Negotiate: I have considered that if this waiver of liability was not as broad as it is, the cost of holding the Program would be considerably higher and I may not have the ability to participate in the Program. Because I wish to participate in the Program, I waive the right to bargain for a different waiver of liability terms.
