California Peace Officer Bill of Rights

The California Peace Officer Bill of Rights (POBR) is a law that protects the rights of police officers during disciplinary proceedings. It ensures that officers receive due process, meaning they are entitled to a fair investigation if accused of misconduct. Key provisions include the right to be informed of allegations against them, to respond to accusations, and to have legal representation during interrogations. The law aims to balance accountability and fairness for officers, fostering trust in the law enforcement system and protecting their rights while maintaining public safety.
