§ 11300 Officer Petition Refiling Rule

This law says that if a petition (a formal complaint) against an officer is missing something, you can still file a new petition later.

Key Takeaways

  • •An incomplete petition does not stop you from filing another one.
  • •You can file a new petition against the same officer at any time.
  • •The rule applies to any officer, not just specific types.

Example

A person files a complaint against a city police officer but forgets to include a required detail, so the petition is considered insufficient.

Even though the first complaint was incomplete, the person can file another, complete complaint against the same officer later.
