Title: Due Process in Police Disciplinary Hearings: The Need for a National Law Enforcement Officers Bill of Rights
Abstract: In 1967, the Supreme Court recognized, in Garrity v. New Jersey, that, although law enforcement officers do not have more constitutional rights than average citizens, they do not have fewer constitutional rights. In 1974, Maryland became the first state in the nation to enact a “law enforcement officers’ bill of rights.” Today, many states have such statutes, but their administrative protections vary widely. Some agencies provide such rights through collective bargaining. From 1993 to 1997, Professor Byron L. Warnken, working with the National Association of Police Organizations and the National Law Enforcement Officers’ Rights Center, introduce a national law enforcement officers’ bill of rights. That effort failed. This 30-page 1997 article is titled “Due Process in Police Disciplinary Hearings: The Need for a National Law Enforcement Officers’ Bill of Rights.” The article makes the case for a national law enforcement officers’ bill of rights statute.
