§ 1027 Employment Oath Violation Penalty

• •If you work in a job that requires an oath (like a promise to do your job honestly) but you didn't take it, you can get in trouble.
• •If you hire someone for a job that needs an oath and you know they didn't take it, you can also get in trouble.
• •Breaking this rule is a small crime, like a misdemeanor.

A police department hires a new officer.

If the new officer starts working without taking the required oath to uphold the law, they can get in trouble. Also, if the police chief knows the officer didn't take the oath but hires them anyway, the chief can get in trouble too.
