all he knows is that the prosecutor is accusing him of making a promise of immunity to an informant. (who says he didn't) will he get his job back? He's on a drug strike force and LOVES it....he's always been BY THE BOOK. I don't understand this.

If he's on administrative leave with pay, the purpose is to allow an internal investigation. I represent a sheriff's department and officers being investigated are put on paid leave for an internal affairs investigation. The theory is that all the witnesses on the force will be more honest if your husband is not at work. I've found that to be a stupid, but widely used, theory. It's as though they don't remember the phone was invented. If the informant sticks by his story, you have nothing to worry about. You just have to let the investigation take its course. If he is unionized, his union has a duty to defend him. If this situation deteriorates, your husband should seek an employment law atty.

He has been accused of doing something improper.
While he is on leave, this will be investigated. If he is cleared, then,he'll go back to work.
Realize the police do not exactly deal with the the finest members of society.Many wouldn't knowthedifference between thetruth and a lie, and many would lie to save their tails.Nevertheless, these allegations must be investigated.
Meanwhile, enjoy some time together.
((PS, I, for one, feel the police and firemen are not appreciated enough.))

It is a usual procedure when someone is under investigation!
Cops can't promise immunity, only prosecutors can!
I suspect the "informant", if he needs immunity has a real need to blame a cop! Where is your union?

He needs to get a hold of his Union Attorney.
He may know more detail than that and is just not giving you all the details. If you are put on administrative leave it's usually spelled out for you why.

Usually any type of ellegation is going to be thoroughly investigated and that is one of the down falls of being in that type of work.If hes not guilty dont worry about it. Im in corrections and we are always under alot of scrutiney , investigations, attorney generals and its enough to make you get very upset with the system. Hang in there and I hope everything turns out for the best.

Police officers can not make statements that would lead a suspect into thinking that their cooperation would preclude or lighten their punishment.
Any information gathered after he made such a statement would be inadmissable.

Too little information to make an accurate assessment.
If he's a "by the book" guy, then he needs to follow chain-of-command to find out what happened.
Otherwise, have him jump to the highest oversight person and find out what's happening.
