The Internal Affairs investigation is a key element in whether an agency will be successful in imposing discipline. What do decision makers, hearing lawyers and courts look for in an IA report? This two-day course will unlock the difference between an IA that supports discipline versus those that undermine it.

This POST-approved course provides a complete guide to conducting a fair and thorough internal affairs investigation that will create a defensible disciplinary action in the event of sustained findings.  You will gain an understanding of the impact that good decision-making and strategy have on the agency’s success in defending IAs and winning appeals.

This 2-day seminar will encompass legal aspects of a properly conducted IA Seminar, including topics such as:

• Overview of the Peace Officers’ Bill of Rights (POBR) and consequences of violations for your agency
• Best practices in initiating and organizing the IA investigation
• How to obtain documents and other evidence
• Interview techniques and transcript recommendations, plus pitfalls to avoid
• Identifying common mistakes during IA investigations and solutions
• Current and emerging legal trends in public safety allegations and discipline
