1 117. Government Code §3304(a) provides that"No public safety officer shall be 2 subjected to punitive action, or denied promotion, or be threatened with any such 3 treatment, because of the lawful exercise of the rights granted under this chapter, or the 4 exercise of any rights under any existing administrative grievance procedure. 5 118. Government Code §3304(b) provides, in pertinent part, "No punitive action, 6 nor denial of promotion on grounds other than merit, shall be undertaken by any public 7 agency against any public safety officer who has successfully completed the 8 probationary period that may be required by his or her employing agency without 9 providing the public safety officer with an opportunity for administrative appeal." 10 119. Government Code §3304(d) (1) reads "Except as provided in this 11 subdivision and subdivision (g), no punitive action, nor denial of promotion on grounds 12 other than merit, shall be undertaken for any act, omission, or other allegation of 13 misconduct if the investigation of the allegation is not completed within one year of the 14 public agency's discovery by a person authorized to initiate an investigation of the 15 allegation of an act, omission, or other misconduct. This one-year limitation period shall 16 apply only if the act, omission, or other misconduct occurred on or after January 1, 17 1998. In the event that the public agency determines that discipline may be taken, it 18 shall complete its investigation and notify the public safety officer of its proposed 19 discipline by a Letter of Intent or Notice of Adverse Action articulating the discipline that 20 year, except as provided in paragraph (2). The public agency shall not be required to 21 impose the discipline within that one-year period." 22 120. Government Code §3305 provides that no public safety officer shall have 23 any comment adverse to his interest entered in his personnel file, or any other file used 24 for any personnel purposes by his employer, without the public safety officer having first 25 read and signed the instrument containing the adverse comment indicating he is aware 26 of such comment, except that such entry may be made if after reading such instrument 27 the public safety officer refuses to sign it. Should a public safety officer refuse to sign, 28 that fact shall be noted on that document, and signed or initialed by such officer. 28 COMPLAINT
