* * * IMPORTANT MEMBER INFORMATION * * *
It is extremley important to notify a Union Representative for all matters where you believe some type of discipline may be forthcoming. Please contact a Union Board member if you are subject to an investigation so that our Union Lawyers are notified in a timely manner. Your right to have a Union Representative present during matters of discipline and questioning are allowed due to the Weingarten Ruling in 1975. This is for your benefit not to mention it costs you nothing.
When you are involved in an incident, and you prepare any written report to the Department, (e.g., Officer's report, incident report, witness statement, insurance form) or give any oral statement to another employee arising, from the incident, you have been compelled to do so by the Department mandate. Such compelled statements are subject to the Garrity Rule which precludes their use as evidence in criminal proceedings in which you are charged with a crime arising from the incident.
If you are given Miranda Warning, any statements you make thereafter are voluntary and not compelled; they would not be subject to the Garrity Rule and could be used against you in court.
