GARRITY WARNING

PUBLIC EMPLOYEES ONLY

A warning given to an employee by an employer during an employment

investigation that requires the employee to either provide information or be

discharged for refusing to provide information. If such a warning is given, the

employee may object to the use of such information in a subsequent criminal

proceeding on the basis that a self-incriminating statement was made under

duress.

SAMPLE GARRITY WARNING

I wish to advise you are being questioned as part of an official investigation of your

employer. You will be asked questions specifically, directly and narrowly related to

performance of your official duties or fitness for office. You are entitled to all the

rights and privileges guaranteed by the law and the Constitution of the United States,

including the right not to be compelled to incriminate yourself. I further wish to advise

you that if you refuse to testify or to answer questions relating to the performance of

your official duties or fitness for duty, you could be subject to discharge. If you do

answer, neither your statement, nor any information or evidence which is gained by

reason of such statement, can be used against you in any subsequent criminal

proceedings. However, these statements may be used against you in relation to

subsequent discipline.
