UNIT ORDER #57 - PRESENTATION OUTLINE FOR EXECUTIVE FORCE REVIEW COMMITTEE MEETINGS



PURPOSE OF THIS DIRECTIVE:

To standardize the presentations of force and shooting investigations presented to the Executive Force Review Committee (EFRC).

SCOPE:

This Unit Order applies to investigators who present cases to the Executive Force Review Committee.

PROCEDURE:

Investigators shall follow the attached outline when presenting a case to the committee (see attachment).  Investigators will dress in business attire with tie and jacket for male investigators.  A pre-presentation run through will be done with the team lieutenant and unit commander (when available) prior to the presentation to the committee.

When an investigator has a force or shooting case that has been made an administrative investigation and the investigator is going to re-present the case to the EFRC, the investigator shall follow this modified outline:

  • inform the panel that you have returned to present the information from the administrative investigation;
  • briefly describe the incident (to refresh their memory);
  • state the issues that they wanted addressed in the administrative investigation;
  • identify the Subject(s) and the allegations against each Subject;
  • relate what the investigation revealed for each allegation for each Subject.

Investigators should also follow this modified outline when re-presenting a case in which the panel just asked for follow-up investigation to be done.
