Please tell me how to seek remedy for police disciplinary action.

Hello, I'm serving as a soldier. A few days ago, I violated regulations and secretly kept a second phone, and I was caught using it by a superior during night roll call. Do cases similar to mine occur often? If so, how are they usually handled? If possible, I'd hope for a relatively light disposition like a warning or reprimand... I'm very worried about being subject to severe discipline at a disciplinary committee for keeping a second phone in the military.

Hello. This is a Suwon administrative attorney.

As a police officer who normally serves the public and is responsible for security, the psychological shock and unfairness of being suspected of sexual harassment must be indescribable.

However, as a member of the investigative agency, even stricter standards may apply, so accurate and prompt response is absolutely necessary.

When a police officer is investigated on sexual harassment charges, it can lead not only to criminal punishment but also to heavy disciplinary action for civil servants.

If you go through the police disciplinary procedure, you should be careful about the following.

(1) Be careful with initial statements

An offhand remark may instead exacerbate the misunderstanding, so receive an attorney's assistance from the initial investigation to ensure your statements are not distorted

(2) Clear organization of facts

Accurately organize the circumstances, location, and surrounding people at the time of the incident as defense materials

(CCTV, messages, recordings, etc. are very important evidence for denying charges)

(3) Simultaneous response to disciplinary procedures

Even if you receive a non-suspicion ruling in the criminal case, the disciplinary procedure proceeds separately

Therefore, attendance at the police disciplinary committee, submission of explanations, and writing of opinions, etc., should be done with an attorney's assistance to increase the possibility of mitigation

(4) Filing administrative lawsuit when contesting disciplinary disposition

If the disciplinary level is judged unfair, you can attempt to seek remedy through a lawsuit to cancel the disciplinary disposition or a request for mitigation

The sexual harassment charges you are facing often arise from simple misunderstandings, so response from the early stage is necessary.

Don't agonize alone in anxiety, please consider entrusting your police disciplinary defense to a Suwon administrative attorney from Daeryun Law Firm.

We will be with you to the end to protect your honor and the rights of public officials.
