* "Police in California Fight Citizen Complaints"
* By Tim Golden, The New York Times, 8/15/1996
*
* With a quiet but forceful lobbying campaign, officers' unions and their
* supporters are pressing for new state laws that would remove unsubstant-
* iated complaints from police personnel files and limit the time in which
* a citizen's complaint must be investigated.
*
* Only 4% of complaints are upheld by review boards, and 70% are ruled
* inconclusive. Over time, some officers build up quite a bulk of complaints
* in their personnel file. Police chiefs oppose the legislations because it
* could undermine early warning systems for spotting bad officers.
*
* In some states, police unions have begun filing libel suits against those
* who file police complaints.
*
* The police officers assert that paper trails on complaints can ruin
* law-enforcement careers.
