How does OPS learn of employee misconduct?
A.The County Administrator, Board of County Commissioners or designees may direct OPS to investigate an incident or any allegation of misconduct. If the alleged incident is a violation of State or Federal laws, the appropriate law enforcement agency will be contacted and provided the necessary information to evaluate the situation and initiate an investigation. If law enforcement initiates an investigation, the law enforcement investigation will take precedence over an administrative investigation conducted by OPS. An administrative investigation will be conducted upon completion of the law enforcement investigation or concurrently, if appropriate.
