How does OMI operate?
The Office of Municipal Investigations acts solely as a fact finder and does not make disciplinary decisions or recommendations. OMI relies on City work rules, union contracts, civil services regulations, City codes, and state laws to define illegal and inappropriate conduct and rules of investigations. By remaining independent from the Bureaus it investigates and removed from the disciplinary process, OMI ensures citizens and employees of fairness and thorough investigations. OMI is staffed by a civilian manager, civilian coordinator, detectives, civilian investigators, and clerical staff.
