Civilian Complaints. SECTION 1: All complaints by civilians, which may involve any form of discipline of an employee, shall be in writing and signed by the complainant. The Employer will furnish a copy of the written complaint to the employee whom the complaint has been filed against when such employee is notified of the investigation by the Employer or his designee.
Civilian Complaints. When a member is initially notified to report for a formal interview concerning a civilian complaint made against the member, the member shall be provided with written notice of the complaint or allegation prior to the interview and shall be permitted a reasonable period of time, not to exceed seventy-two (72) hours to obtain representation from the Union prior to the interview. If requested by the member, a Union representative shall be permitted to be present during such interviews. At the request of the member, the member shall be given a reasonable period of time not to exceed seventy-two (72) hours to locate and provide any documents in the member’s possession regarding the complaint or allegation. A member shall be subject to being recalled for further interviews and no further written notice shall be required. Any interview conducted in connection with the complaint or allegation shall, to the extent practicable, be conducted at hours reasonably related to the member’s shift, preferably during such member’s working hours. Any interview of a member may be tape recorded by the Township or Union. If a transcript of the tape is made by the Township, the member will, upon request, be provided a copy of such transcript. A member who has been interviewed and is the subject of the investigation shall be advised, in writing, of the disposition of the complaint.
Civilian Complaints. Civilian complaints that are not in writing, resulting in 35 disciplinary action against employees, shall be put in writing and attested to by a responsible 36 Sheriff’s Office Official. If the civilian complaint is investigated and placed in the employee's 37 personnel file, it shall be marked with respect to final disposition. Only civilian complaints that 38 are investigated and found to be “sustained” will be placed in the employee’s personnel file. 39 Civilian complaints that are other than “sustained” shall be kept in a file separate from the 40 employee’s personnel file. 41
Civilian Complaints. 33.01 The CITY agrees that a Superior Officer who is the subject of any investigation or inquiry arising out of a civilian complaint shall, prior to any interview, be appraised in writing of the following information: the date and nature of the complaint, including, but not limited to, sufficient information of knowledge of the extent of the complaint, in order to allow the Superior Officer to adequately respond to said allegations. For the purpose of this section, a complaint against a Superior Officer is one which alleges wrongful or improper conduct towards the complainant or a member of his/her family or which occurred in the presence of the complainant which, in the opinion of the Chief of Police or his designee, warrants an explanation or written report by the Superior Officer. Superior Officers have the right to request the presence of an ASSOCIATION representative at any investigatory interview at which the Superior Officer reasonably believes there might be disciplinary action and also during any other stage of disciplinary proceedings.
