Re: wrongly accused
You may have recourse against the police department and the city or county that oversees, manages or controls the police department in question. Our firm would not accept your case, but others might. Seek the advice of an attorney experienced in pursuing claims against police departments and local governments. Good luck.
Re: wrongly accused
If the police suspected you of the crime, then it would not have been wrong of the police to inform your supervisors that you were a suspect. In fairness, the police should also inform your supervisors that you were eliminated as a suspect. You do not state why the detective interviewed you in the middle of the dining room. It may have been poor judgment on his or her part to do so, but there appears to be no reason you could not have requested that the interview take place elsewhere or at another time. I do not believe you have any legal recourse against the police in this instance.
