Injuries to Trainees

Because a police trainee had signed a liability release to participate in physically demanding training programs, he was not entitled to damages after he was injured while carrying 70-pound cooler containing the lunches of other police recruits. Such releases serve a public interest in obtaining adequately trained police force. Marcinczyk v. New Jersey Police Training Cmsn., #A-4340-07T3, 406 N.J. Super. 608, 968 A.2d 1205(App. Div. 2009).
