SB279 revises Nevada law to enhance the rights of peace officers during investigations.

SB279 amends Nevada law to ensure peace officers receive written notice 48 hours before being interviewed in an investigation. The notice must detail the alleged misconduct, the date, time, and place of the interview, and the officers involved. Peace officers can have two representatives present during interviews, who need not be in the same bargaining unit. The bill also mandates that peace officers be informed of the consequences of not providing a statement or answer, and that their statements cannot be used against them in criminal proceedings.
