Police Suggestion Union Rep

Suggestion Title: Union Rep
Suggestion Description: A union rep. This idea was actually created by @Dekkrior but I believe this idea is something that would actually be useful. Like in real life, the purpose of a union rep would be to assist and guide you through if you're going through disciplinary actions or IA, as it is right now I believe command is technically acting as some sort of Union Rep, somebody in actual union rep would be different to actual command and wouldn't necessarily be related to command. Their entire purpose is to make sure people can feel like they have some sort of support system and guidance if they aren't sure what to do or how to do it.

Why should this be added?:
- A better support system for people under Investigation. Both witnin IA and other Disciplinary actions.
- Less stuff for command to deal with, when they are already super overloaded.

What negatives could this have?:
- More paperwork I presume?
- Needs to be planning and guidelines and rules to set up regarding the position/title.

What problem would this suggestion solve?: It would simply show a better support system for people who's not confident in what to do, or how to go about their current investigation and actually know what to do and where to go for help and guidance.

This is something that imo the chiefs should look into, i think IA has a fatal flaw when it come to transparency, i understand that there is some form of confidentiality that needs to be upheld but there should be someone that can help you in my opinion when looking at punishments as theres alot of rules. I also to add onto this point that the way IA’s are rn, of you get an IA you don’t know what you may have been reported for, At least for a few days while on command review

I feel like IF this where to be a thing, what you would have to do is explain what has happened what the min / max punishment how the process goes ect, i feel like another downside is having dank do more work where you would have to make it so they have limited access to IA complaints.

(Sorry if this is all over the shop its too hot even at 3am)

Yeah there would be a bit of work, especially planning into how the role would/should actually be setup, and how much access they would have. It should probably also be something with the defendant themselves having to contact the Union Reps to prevent any union rep being able to see any IA etc, potentially something that just tells the rep that there is an IA on this person, but not particularily any info regarding it, but even that may be too much without the persons consent, so I understand the difficulty it COULD bring, but I also think there needs to be somebody who can be specifically there if you need it.

I found myself quite a few times not knowing what to do or uncertain what would happen to me, and wished I had somebody who could guide me.
