CHARGE:  SLEEPING ON DUTY
COARSE OF ACTION:  Have City mechanics replace the exhaust system on the patrol car.
COARSE OF ACTION:  Hire an attorney.
Discussion:
IA Lt.  "I know you would never sleep on duty.  You are lined up to be promoted shortly.    There must be something wrong with the exhaust system on the car.  We will have the mechanics check it out and take care of this."
Discussion:
Attorney:  This is very serious, you know they are looking for any reason to get rid of you.  What were you thinking?  Do you want to offer them a few days or take your chances at a hearing?  This is not your first  infraction and you can forget that promotion to Sgt."
Officer A  is promoted within a month, assigned to Internal Affairs. Officer B signs off on a suspension, and watches Officer A get the Sgt.'s promotion.

It happens.  EdPDLaw invites you to submit your scenarios and will feature them here for all of us to learn from. 

We encourage you to track your Department's  disciplinary trends to assure they are imposing discipline fairly.  Many times officers do not realize the far reaching and long term impact of dicipline.  Signing off on a minor discipline will impact you negatively at a future date.

You need to keep a copy of your personnel file.  You can then use the positive information, that should be inside of it, to apply for promotions and lateral transfers. 

EdPDLaw keeps records for you and/or your union as its:

HUMAN RESOURCE  DEPARTMENT

Back up your Legal Defense Plan with the Excessive Discipline Database Protection Plan. Implement a Human Resource Department for your Union and no longer be dependent on your Department for your records. 

Have your Department's information at your fingertips.  Know what grants your Department receives and how the monies are applied.  All the information you need to successfully negotiate the CBA is collected and stored in a customized Union Information™ Database.

For $75.00 a year plus a one time $50.00 setup fee, your membership into EdPDlaw includes:   (Union Discounts Available)

*  Obtaining and setting up your personnel file

*  Creating a portfolio for you of your file for use at promotional interviews, lateral transfers, or to apply for positions with other agencies

*  Review of your file by our staff and complete report of deficiencies, including requests for additional information and/or the removal of outdated, negative information from your file

*  Entry of your information into our database and periodic reports on discipline trends in your Department and Region

*  Quarterly reviews, updates and reports on your file

*  Monthly newsletter with the latest case law and decisions

Whether your Department is in turmoil or  things are running smoothly, the EdPDLaw protections will enhance an already efficient Department or cause a Department in turmoil to locate and resolve their problem areas.

EdPDLaw is designed to complement the Legal Protection Plan and will consult with your union representatives and union attorneys to make a program that is sufficient and effective to your needs.  Print an  Enrollment form and Release.
