Description
JUSTICE ZAPPALA The issue presented in this appeal is whether indemnification by a local agency for the payment of a judgment entered against
a police officer in a civil action for assault and battery and false imprisonment is prohibited in all instances under the
Political Subdivision Tort Claims Act, 42 Pa.C.S. § 8541, et seq. We conclude that a police officer may be indemnified
for the payment of a judgment entered in a civil action for assault and battery and false imprisonment absent a judicial determination
that the officer's acts constituted willful misconduct. For the following reasons, we reverse the order of the Commonwealth
Court.
