The Board shall not hold a hearing to dismiss, demote or temporarily suspend any county police officer until the President has received two written copies of the charges preferred by the Sheriff against the officer. The charges shall be in sufficient detail to inform the Board of the officer’s alleged misconduct and to enable the accused officer to adequately prepare his or her defense. These charges shall also be accompanied by a summary of supporting evidence. As a matter of convenience to the Sheriff, he or she should prepare three copies of any charges and summaries of supporting evidence, and retain one copy for himself or herself. The Board shall establish and approve the forms to be used for the preferring of charges and for the summary of supporting evidence.
