Nevada officers keep raises during investigations

The law expands what counts as a punishment for peace officers. Denying a raise or seniority now counts as punitive action. Agencies cannot deny an officer’s pay or seniority increase while an investigation is ongoing or tied to the case, until all investigations end. This limit does not apply if the investigation can result in dismissal or demotion, and a union contract can set different terms.
