PURPOSE OF THIS ORDER:
This Unit Order sets forth policy for investigative interviews of Departmental executives by Internal Affairs Bureau (IAB) investigators.
If during the course of an investigation, an investigator finds it necessary to interview a Department executive (Captain/Director or above), the investigator shall apprise their Supervising Lieutenant of the circumstances necessitating the interview. The Lieutenant will evaluate these circumstances and decide whether or not the Executive will be interviewed. If the Executive is to be interviewed as a witness, the Supervising Lieutenant shall grant approval, and inform the IAB Captain of the decision.
If the Supervising Lieutenant deems it appropriate to interview the Department Executive as a subject, approval for doing so will be sought from the IAB Captain. The IAB Captain will direct the Supervising Lieutenant as to interview procedures.
