Firefighters Procedural Bill of Rights Act (FBOR) and Peace Officers Procedural Bill of Rights Act (POBOR)

The Public Safety Officers Procedural Bill of Rights Act (POBRA”) and the Firefighters Procedural Bill of Rights Act (FBOR) provide rights and protections to police officers and firefighters throughout California. POBRA and the FBOR provide procedural safeguards to protect first responders from punitive action and established, with certain exceptions, a one-year period of limitations within which an employing fire department must complete its investigation of any act, omission, or other allegation of misconduct and notify the police officer or firefighter of its proposed disciplinary action.
