The extent of these punishments depends on the grade of the officer imposing punishment and the grade of the accused. As a volunteer group, the volunteer can always walk away. Imposition of punishment (e.g. extra duty, extra training) has to be voluntary and based on the alternative of being dismissed from service.
Prior to the imposition of nonjudicial punishment, an accused is entitled to notification:
- that the imposition of nonjudicial punishment is being considered;
- a description of the alleged offenses;
- a summary of the evidence upon which the allegations are based;
- notification that the accused has the right to refuse the imposition of punishment;
- and any rights the accused has if NJP is accepted.
