The Internal Affairs Course addresses the crucial role that the internal affairs function assumes in the maintenance of professional conduct within a law enforcement agency. Discussion will revolve around the development and application of internal affairs policy and procedure standards, including essential elements of an internal affairs or professional standards system, and more specifically address complaint reception protocols, investigation protocols, case reporting requirements, employee rights, case review & final disposition, and personnel records management. Additionally, legal decisions affecting internal affairs investigations, civil liability related to 42 USC 1441, issues related to U.S. Department of Justice “Pattern or Practice” investigations, and the utilization of Early Identification and Intervention Systems will also be considered.
Attendees will be introduced to common deficiencies found in agency internal investigation procedures, recommendations related to the types of investigations that should be handled by internal affairs investigators versus first-line supervisors, the consideration of the use of proactive versus reactive investigations, and legal guidelines concerning compelled employee statements.
The cost for the five-day course is $645.00, which includes all course materials.
