Is a police officer disciplined for making false statements during an official investigation?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Kang v. City of L. A., B264346 (Cal. App. 2016):
Regarding the fourth count for making false statements during an official investigation, appellant argues the trial court committed legal error in upholding this finding of misconduct. Relying on Alameida v. State Personnel Bd. (2004) 120 Cal.App.4th 46 (Alameida), he argues that a police officer cannot be disciplined for making false statements to an investigator when he is merely denying the factual basis of the charges against him.
