Budish General Orders (GO) and Policy Practice Test

Investigations into deputy-involved shootings and similar use-of-force incidents that appear in Internal Affairs complaints are conducted by Internal Affairs. This unit is charged with examining complaints about an officer’s conduct, gathering facts, interviewing witnesses, and determining whether policies were violated. Civilian oversight bodies like Public Safety Oversight or External Review Boards typically review investigations and ensure accountability, but they do not usually carry out the initial investigations themselves. Legal Counsel provides legal advice rather than conducting investigative work.
