CRPOA’s DOJ Lawsuit – Update and Request for Support
The DOJ is fighting us, claiming that reserve peace officers are “less than” other peace officers and do not qualify for the exemption, and in essence is arguing that “sworn peace officers” as used in the exemption does not mean “reserve” peace officers. We do not expect them to change their position any time soon. We need the support of your Department, ideally your Chief or Sheriff, and would like your Department head or command staff member to send an email to me expressing his or her support for our position.
