The Internal Affairs Unit was created in 1998. The primary duties of this unit are to conduct administrative investigations regarding accusations of employee misconduct, inspect departmental operations for maximum efficiency, ensure compliance with established policies and procedures, conduct background investigations and recruit new officers.
This unit is also responsible for developing new policies and procedures (see General Orders), conducting employment background investigations and administering entry level testing.
