Corr, Chief of Police <br /> <br /> GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS AND GUIDELINES <br /> <br /> This policy outlines the Lexington Police Department's procedures for <br />investigating any complaint or allegation of intended misconduct. These procedures <br />should guarantee the right of all personnel to a fair and impartial investigation while also <br />insuring that all complaints will be investigated thoroughly and objectively. <br /> <br /> Internal affairs investigations are complex due to the controls necessary to satisfy <br />constitutional and statutory laws as well as negotiated agreements. These investigations <br />increase employee sensitivity and directly affect the Department’s ability to provide quality <br />police services. <br /> <br /> In order to insure consistent, equitable and thorough investigations, these <br />guidelines explain the forms and procedures to be used in handling complaints. <br /> <br /> Note: The forms provided are guidelines and at times reports or other documents may <br />be a sufficient substitute. The goal is to insure that the information that needs to be <br />collected or distributed is produced in a satisfactory manner. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
