I, the parent or guardian of undersigned minor, hereby request that he/she be allowed to participate in the Sheriff's Youth Academy which may result in my child riding in a Cumberland County Sheriff's Department vehicle. I make this request with full knowledge that law enforcement is an inherently dangerous activity, and that I am exposing my child to the risk of serious bodily harm, including but not limited to the risk of injuries resulting from the operation and use of said Sheriff's Department vehicle, and at the risk of injuries inherent in participating, even as an observer, in law enforcement activities.
In consideration for being allowed to participate in the Sheriff's Youth Academy, as requested, and with full knowledge and appreciation of the risks involved, I voluntarily agree to, and do hereby assume all risks of physical harm in connection with this request. I further agree not to bring any claim or suit with respect to any injuries my child may sustain against the State of Tennessee, the County of Cumberland, the Cumberland County Sheriff's Department, or any of their officers, deputies, employees, or any other entity involved in any way with the program and I agree to hold them harmless from and indemnify them for any and all claims, demands, suits and liability which might possibly arise out of my participation in this program as requested herein.
I certify that I have read this request and waiver of liability before signing it and I fully understand its contents.
