A Judge can issue an Order saying whatever they hell he or she wants.
A Judge can order you to leave work and sit on a Federal Grand Jury for 36 months.
A Judge can order an innocent bystander to testify or sit in jail until he agrees to do so.
Employment status has nothing to do with anything. Just because you quit the police department doesn't mean you don't have to cooperate with a federal investigation or anything that a Judge orders you to do during that trial, from the grand jury phase up to and through sentencing.
I so often agree with the general sentiment of HN posters but the lack of understanding around basic civics is disheartening.
