What is the purpose of the police officers' bill of rights?

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: To reduce the temptation for internal investigators to proceed against police employees in an insensitive fashion, some police agencies have formally adopted a statement of the rights of police officers who are accused of misconduct. The typical police officers' bill of rights requires advance notice to an officer who is being investigated, spells out procedures for resolving complaints that maintain due-process protections, and limits the lengths to which an agency can go to secure information through interrogation and investigations.
