Philadelphia Police Officers and LTCF Philadelphia PD Directive 5.27

[Parrisk]

LEOSA refers to the term qualified LE Officer as someone from a governmental agency. ...
... I am still trying to understand the PA Constable ruling under LEOSA.

Because Constables have "Statutory Powers of Arrest Authority" but no booking number... A Constable can arrest you, but cannot book you into jail

LEOSA

something seriously wrong with that directive.
If an officer is suspended pending investigation LEOSA no longer applies! So they cannot carry to protect themselves and their family.

Wonder how many officers will see through the bullshit and move to another agency?
