What information must an agency provide to an accused employee prior to an Internal Affairs interview?
For peace officer Unit 7 members, the accused employee must be informed of the nature of the investigation as well as the rank, name and command of the interrogating officers. Non- peace officer Unit 7 members are entitled to notice as to the nature of the investigation. Accused employees are not entitled to a copy of the complaint or statements of witnesses prior to their investigative interview. An accused employee is entitled to a copy of his or her own statement if the employee is to be re-interviewed regarding the same or similar allegations.
