Bill Summary
Relative to the rights of police officers accused of alleged misconduct. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a "policeman's bill of rights" to protect police officers during investigations into alleged misconduct, ensuring interrogations are conducted at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner, with the officer being informed of the investigation's details, including the names of those in charge and any complainants, and having the right to have an attorney present and to have all questioning recorded. The bill also clarifies that police officers accused of misconduct committed during their duties are subject to these new rights, and it extends these protections to municipal police officers, meaning they will have the same rights as capitol police officers when facing investigations.
