Pennsylvania Statutes Title 22 P.S. Detectives § 24. Employes not to divulge information or make false reports

Any person who is or has been an employe of a holder of a license shall not divulge to any one other than his employer or as his employer shall direct, except as he may be required by law, any information acquired by him during such employment in respect of any of the work to which he shall have been assigned by such employer. Any such employe violating the provisions of this section, and any such employe who shall wilfully make a false report to his employer in respect of any of such work, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon conviction thereof, shall be sentenced to pay a fine of not more than five hundred dollars ($500) or to undergo imprisonment for not more than one (1) year, or both. The employer of any employe believed to have violated this section shall, without any liability whatsoever upon said employer, supply the court of quarter sessions, and such court shall, should the facts and circumstances be deemed to warrant, conduct further investigation and submit the evidence thus acquired to the district attorney for appropriate action in accordance with the provisions of section 18 of this act.  1
