Is it abnormal for a public agency to reach a conclusion regarding what charges to make against an officer prior to any predisciplinary proceedings or response on the part of the officer?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Abney v. Bd. of Trs. of the Cal. State Univ., B234539 (Cal. App. 2013):
anomalous to require the public agency to reach a conclusion regarding [what charges to make against an officer] prior to any predisciplinary proceedings or response on the part of the officer." (Mays v. City of Los Angeles, supra, 43 Cal.4th at p. 322.) Again, plaintiff's claim of error in the instruction given is incorrect.
