Committee:
The recent representation of a
Cobb Officer is Magistrates Court by one of our
Critical Incident Attorney Bill McKinney was a
resounding success. The Chief Magistrate
Frank Cox said as far as he was concerned the
case was finished and a warrant would not be
issues. Many thanks to Bill for his
expertise.

Members "do not"
need the approval of the legal committee if you are
involved in a critical / use of force incident. The member or his
representative holds sole responsibility for contacting one of our four
attorney's should the
need arise.
If you are in need of an attorney for any other purpose a member of the Legal
Committee must be called before contacting an attorney. If you do not clear the
contact of an attorney through the Legal Committee the Lodge will not pay for
the legal services.
