Overview
STEP 1: OPO RECEIVES COMPLAINT
After receiving a complaint, OPO enters the complaint in a database
shared with APD.
STEP 2: PRELIMINARY REVIEW
OPO independently reviews every complaint submitted to the office.
STEP ONE
After receiving a complaint, OPO reviews it for potential policy
violations. If OPO identifies potential policy violations during a
preliminary review, OPO forwards the complaint to APD and
recommends that APD investigate. APD determines whether an
OPO
investigation will occur. OPO resumed the preliminary review of all
COMPLAINT
complaints as of October 1, 2023.
PROCESS
STEP 3: INTERNAL AFFAIRS CLASSIFIES COMPLAINT
Internal Affairs reviews and classifies the complaint according to the
APD policy and employee manual. APD has sole discretion on the
final classification. If APD determines that the complaint was a Class
STEP THREE
A or B and would be investigated, OPO monitors the investigation.
STEP 4: INTERNAL AFFAIRS INVESTIGATES COMPLAINT
If APD classifies the complaint as A or B, they will investigate. OPO will
monitor the investigation. Once an investigation is complete, APD has
sole discretion in deciding the disposition (outcome).
