So, apparently I’m being sued. (I’m a police officer, so it was bound to happen at some point)… if you’re wondering, yes it’s all BS.
However, I know that it could come up in my BI. Is this information that I should share right away or wait until more details develop with respect to speaking with counsel the city provides me?
As a side note: As many of you know, i am currently processing with an intelligence agency with the DoD and my recruiter is on maternity leave and the only office I could notify of this issue is the security office of said agency.
With all of that being said, I have heard nothing from them in almost 6 months… what’s the best course of action here?
(And this agency does its own BI)
Thanks again for your time and have a great weekend!!!
Wait… it depends on the lawsuit. If you are being sued in performance of your job, I dont think this is reportable. If you are being sued as a private citizen, this, I believe, is reportable.
If you are sued in performance of your job, you should consult your department attorney first. I can imagine the attorney will advise you not to share details or information of the pending lawsuit.
Reference section 28 on the SF-86. Report it, trust me. As for it affecting your clearance, that depends on the allegations in the suit and if you’re found liable or not. Best of luck.
This is true. It might not get that far… as I see it as a money grab… in which the city will probably pay. I’m just sacred because I don’t want it to affect my processing.
