Does a police officer have a legal requirement to report any D.V. charges that have been filed against him to the chief?
Yes, whenever an act of domestic violence has been alleged to have been committed by a law enforcement officer that results in the seizure of the officer’s weapons, then that officer must: a. Immediately report that fact to the state officer’s departmental supervisor who must promptly notify the Prosecutor’s Office in the county where the officer is employed and also notify the Division of Criminal Justice, the County Prosecutor and Police Bureau. b. Voluntarily surrender all weapons to the law enforcement officer responding to the domestic violence call or in response to a requirement in a domestic violence restraining order or a domestic violence warrant for the seizure of weapons or in a bail condition. Additionally, if there were weapons seized from a law enforcement officer, then a report shall immediately be made to the arresting officer’s departmental supervisor. Therefore, they must notify the Division of Criminal Justice, and the County Prosecutor and the Police Bureau.
