Where We Help:
Civil: Representation by an experienced civil attorney when a member is sued for an act within the scope of employment, and the employing agency refuses to defend the member. The Legal Defense Fund will provide an experienced attorney to monitor the case.
Criminal: Full representation by a highly knowledgeable and experienced criminal attorney from the first indication of potential criminal exposure arising from an act committed within the scope of employment (e.g. shooting, custody, death, use of force resulting in serious physical injury, and violation of civil rights).
Administrative: Representation in cases arising from an act or omission within the scope of a member’s employment as a law enforcement officer (non-scope administrative coverage is also included through any departmental administrative investigation or informal non-adversary pre-disciplinary hearing)
