HB341

Louisiana HB341 outlines rights for law enforcement officers under investigation.

Louisiana HB341 amends existing law to provide specific rights for law enforcement officers during investigations. The bill requires the appointing authority to notify the officer of the investigation's nature, the interrogator's identity, and the specific charges. Officers have the right to be represented by counsel and to make notes during interrogations. All interrogations must be recorded, and officers can request copies of these recordings. The bill also defines "interrogation" and sets a 75-day limit for investigations, with possible extensions.
