Heading: The City's Liability for the Conduct of Officer Watkins and Officer Rosser

Text: This Court has stated: under principles of vicarious liability, where a municipal employee enjoys immunity, the municipality likewise is immune as to claims based on the employee's conduct. City of Bayou La Batre v. Robinson, 785 So.2d 1128, 1131 (Ala.2000). Therefore, because Watkins and Rosser are immune, the City is also immune from liability on Walker's claims against it based on their acts. The trial court, therefore, correctly entered a summary judgment in favor of Watkins, Rosser, and the City as to Walker's claims related to the failure of its employees, Watkins and Rosser to recognize her symptoms at the time of her arrest and their failure to obtain medical treatment for her.
