Internal Affairs Manual

This manual was prepared to assist first line supervisors and others who may be charged with the investigation of citizens' complaints and administrative internal investigations involving sworn and non-sworn law enforcement personnel. It is intended as a walk-through, but should not replace input from management and the agency's counsel. For example, in many of the areas covered by the topics within this manual, there is no right or wrong way to proceed. How an individual agency or an individual person proceeds depends upon the size of the agency, the nature of the problem, and other factors which differ around the state and among agencies.
