Subject of Investigation
If you are notified by the Department that you are the subject of an investigation, immediately contact our office. In many cases we have members who feel intimidated by the situation and are unaware of their right to have an attorney present for the interview. We emphasize the importance of having an attorney in attendance, to protect your legal rights polska-ed.com/.

Off-Duty Incidents
One significant benefit that all LASPA members receive is legal representation. For work-related incidents, all LASPA members can utilize our panel of attorneys for representation free of charge. If you are involved in an off-duty incident (e.i. DUI, car accident, fight, etc.), LASPA has attorneys that specialize in different areas of law (e.i. criminal defense, personal injury, etc.) that members can hire at a discounted rate. Attorney fees are very costly and can add up; why hire an outside attorney when you can utilize one of LASPA’s panel attorneys?
Yes! It is imperative that you advise your unit of assignment of any off-duty incidents. Failure to do so can have negative results.
