A Quick Thank You

 

PBA,

I have been a little late in doing this, but I wanted to let you guys know that the SLED excessive force investigation that I was involved in concluded in March.  SLED sent their finding to our solicitor who quickly returned a determination that he found no evidence of any wrongdoing on our part.  He further stated that he believed that our actions that night were "certainly justified" given the level of resistance and the fact that the suspect was an armed felon.  This ordeal was made much easier by my membership in the PBA.  Within hours of being formally notified of the investigation, a local attorney had been retained and I had invoked my rights under Garritty and Miranda.
 
I  just wanted to say a quick "thank you" for the help you guys provided. I can only hope that my fellow officers took note of the PBA's response to this matter.  Thanks again and take care.
