- Local Government Forum 2023: Stopping the Havoc Caused by Sovereign Citizens!
This course will inform program participants of the criminal actions taken by sovereign citizens who steal property and identities when they file false documents in the Register of Deeds. Nick will share some incredible stories of the lengths these sovereign citizens will go to when committing their crimes. These fraudulent documents wreak havoc with not only the government offices where the false documents are being filed, but the citizens who are victimized by the thefts of their valuable property and identities. Mr. McBride will also speak on the legislation that has been adopted to stop these sovereign citizens and protect property owners from victimization. This is a helpful and very informative session which will assist local government attorneys in understanding the crimes being committed by sovereign citizens in their jurisdictions and the processes that can be put in place to prevent them.

According to the United States Justice Department, School Resource Officers (SROs), are trained law enforcement officers who engage in community-oriented policing activities and are assigned to work in collaboration with schools and community-based organizations. In many Tennessee, localities, SROs—also called school safety officers, school police officers, or school liaison officers—are employees of the local police department. In others, they are employees of the school district. The presence of SROs in Tennessee’s schools provides unique ethical and professional challenges for Tennessee attorneys who practice local government law due to the various and often conflicting opinions of stakeholders regarding school-based law enforcement.
