This provision includes any contact or request for information or interview, irrespective of any formal accusation or custodial arrest.
This provision does not include civil complaints except those pertaining to or alleging fraud or dishonesty; this provision does include any accusation, whether or not it is ultimately substantiated, that involves domestic or custodial impropriety and/or any application by any person to restrict contact (i.e. judicial order of protection, restraining order, etc.) from an ATSE employee in any state, irrespective of whether or not said application is granted or sustained.
In the case of unsubstantiated accusations, requests for voluntary compliance or submission to interview on the request of any law enforcement agency, ATSE reserves the right to dismiss any ATSE employee who fails to disclose any adverse contact with law enforcement immediately, as required by this provision.
Conflict of Interest:
All ATSE employees must immediately disclose any potential conflict of interests with any performance of their duties or with any client, individual, or enterprise for whom ATSE provides security services. Potential conflicts include, but are not limited to, any prior employment relationship or personal association with any individual or entity representing or known to be associated with ATSE clients.
Impartiality and Good Faith Standard:
Further, this provision prohibits any ATSE employee from any unauthorized use or access to information or premises beyond the specific scope of the employee's specific authorized responsibilities and need for such information or physical access.
