• holding that that the absence of a formal training program is not always “constitutionally inadequate”
• applying the deliberate indifference standard to the plaintiffs’ claims that they were improperly detained for weeks after their court-ordered release due to administrative failures
• affirming grant of qualified immunity for officers who detained the plaintiff for an additional 23 days because of faulty, though unintentional, administration of bond-notification

• reviewing continued detention beyond proper release date for potential Fourteenth Amendment due process violation
