What happens after the PPB investigation is complete?
After the investigation is complete, a report on the investigation will be forwarded to a PPB commanding officer, PPB managers, and the IPR for review. They will review the evidence and issue a finding on the complaint. There are two general findings: NOT SUSTAINED: The finding will not be sustained if it is found that: • The allegation(s) is false; • The actions of the police officer were within the guidelines of Police Bureau policy; • There is not enough evidence to prove or disprove the allegation(s); • The allegation(s) are of a minor rule violation that would not result in discipline, even if proven true. SUSTAINED: The finding will be sustained if: • The officer was found to have been in violation of Police Bureau policy or procedure.
