While much debate and media attention has been given to the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (DADT) policy that bars gays from serving openly, another law enforcement agency may soon find itself also defending what some allege is a DADT policy.

Is this an accurate definition of the Jackson, Tennessee Police Department's DADT policy?

"We don't ask for the full story and we don't want you or any witness to tell us what happened," or

"Don't ask us about your case because we don't tell anyone but the media what we plan to do."
