Abstract: The purpose of the Volunteer Participant Release of Liability Agreement is to collect necessary information in case an individual who acts as a volunteer role player in support of official OBP training sustains an injury or death during the performance of his or her supporting role. If legal action is taken, this information can serve as a “hold harmless” statement /agreement by the Government. In the unlikely event that an injury or death is sustained in the performance of support for training, this information will be used by NPPD/IP/PSCD/OBP to protect against legal action by the volunteer or their family. If legal action is taken, this information can serve as a “hold harmless” statement /agreement by the Government.
