Complaint Investigations . <br /> <br />. a) The police auditor actively monitors internal investigations to ensure a thorough,.objective, and timely <br />investigation and is authorized to:' <br />1. 'participate in complainant, employee and witness interviews. <br />2. require the City to underta~e additional investigation3. <br /> <br />,/-"'" <br /> <br />,; ) <br />. .... b) The police auditor may require, and is authorized to contract for, an external investigation when the <br />police auditor determines that an external investigation is necessary to reduce real or perceived bias or <br />that the.investigation requires specialized skills that internal investigators do not have. <br /> <br />c) The police auditor will not be directly involved in any criminal investigations, but shall be kept apprised <br />of the status of such investigations involving police employees. The police auditor shall have access to <br />the case file relevant to the administrative portion of such investigations.

At the point the police <br />auditor is satisfied that the investigation is complete, s/he win confer with the involved employee's <br />superVisor to develop a case adjudiCation recommendation that will be forwarded through the Chain of <br />Command to the Chi~f of Police.. Any disagreements on the adjudication recom~endation will be <br />documented and forwarded to the Chief of Police for a final adjudication decision. . <br /> <br />2 The commission discussed replacing the word 'investigation' in this section to avoid confusion with the case investigation process <br />conducted by Internal Affairs staff: Substitute,words offered for consideration to replace 'preliminary investigation' included: <br />as'sessment, evaluation, and screening. <br /> <br />)fhis language is derived directly from the Charter amendinent. The commission considered additional'language consistent with its <br />.(,~ort that would set' broad guidelines for when additional investigation would be appropriate,(i.e., to ensure a complete, unbiased <br />investigation) but was concerned with creating unintended restrictions to the auditor's authority to require further investigation. <br /> <br />3 <br />
