Policy on Employee Arrest – Obligation to Report

All employees are required to report any arrest or indictment for a criminal charge, whether misdemeanor or felony, or the receipt of any criminal or violation (other than a traffic infraction) summons to the Vice President for Operations at the Fund for the City of New York, or in the case of Center for Court Innovation employees, to the CCI Director of Finance & Administration, within 72 hours of the arrest, indictment or issuance of the criminal or violation summons. Reporting includes the submission of a copy of a police report, indictment or summons, or other documentation concerning the criminal or violation charges. The Fund may question the employee about the pending arrest, criminal accusation or charge, the underlying circumstances, and the progress of the matter through the criminal justice system; employees are required to provide the Fund with all information requested, and may be required to consent to allow the Fund to communicate with outside parties, including but not limited to attorneys and probation/parole officers.  Employees are further required to report and provide proof of the disposition of the arrest, summons, indictment, or criminal charge, regardless of whether there was a conviction, including but not limited to any finding of guilt for any criminal charge and any sentence conferred, within 72 hours of the disposition. Noncompliance with the above-stated requirements may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination.  Misrepresentation of the circumstances of the arrest may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
