challenge officers. whoos your what is your guys' response to why you need the law enforcement officers bill of rights? >> it's been around since 1974. basically it was designed originally to protect chiefs from just simply saying i don't want you working here anymore, you're fired, without any due process. over the years, it has developed into a set of laws that do not prevent police agencies from taking discipline against officers or terminating them for misconduct. what it does is set up a due process system for police officers in which they're entitled to based on their job. there's been a lot of talk that well the ten-day notice requirement prevents us from doing anything quickly, which is simply not true. i can tell you from my experience representing members of this lodge, a simple discourtesy case can take ten months to investigate.
