The Detectives' Endowment Association advised members that they have the right to remain silent during ongoing federal investigations involving former Police Commissioner Edward Caban and his brother.
Members are reminded that speaking with federal agents could expose them to criminal liability, particularly under the false statements statute, which emphasizes the gravity of their legal rights.
The union emphasized the importance of not discussing the investigation among themselves, which could inadvertently make them potential witnesses, advising only to inform agents of legal representation.
With federal probes intensifying in New York, including indictments against Mayor Eric Adams, the relevance of legal counsel and the right to silence has become increasingly critical for city employees.
