Are you suggesting a cop is forced to provide a statement or submit to an interview immediately after an incident and are not afforded the right to meet with their attorney's and union protection representatives before being interviewed?
No.....I am saying that if an officer is accused of a criminal act...the employer can force them to give a statement in an administrative hearing for employment purposes. They cannot refuse to give that statement and submit to the interview or they can be fired. They are not required to submit to a criminal interview.
The only thing a union representative is there for is to make sure their due process rights are not violated in that in administrative interview.
If they are giving a voluntary statement to criminal investigators the union representative is not present. Only a lawyer if they wish to have one like anyone else.
and yes, in some jurisdictions they have to provide the statement immediately after the incident to the administrative interviewers unless they have to go to the hospital because they are injured.
Some jurisdictions are different than others, some people have no union and they are at will employees other people have week uno n and other agencies have a stronger Union and have better rules for help people are treated.
