Peace Officer Bill of Rights

The Peace Officer Bill of Rights is a law that grants police officers certain protections and rights during investigations or disciplinary actions. It ensures officers are notified of allegations, have access to evidence, and can respond before disciplinary decisions are made. The law aims to balance fair treatment for officers with accountability, preventing undue or secretive investigations. It often includes provisions for hearing procedures and timelines to ensure transparency, while respecting the due process rights of the officers involved.
