INTERNAL INVESTIGATION PROTECTIONS Sample Clauses

INTERNAL INVESTIGATION PROTECTIONS. ‌ A. In the event a complaint is levied against an employee that causes the COUNTY or Sheriff’s Office to assign an Internal Investigation number in the Sheriff’s Office or conduct a formal investigation in Youth Services, the following protections shall accrue to the employee being investigated: 1. Prior to an interview of the employee as provided herein, the employee shall be given notice of the nature of the complaint and the basis of the allegations levied against said employee. 2. If the employee is to be interviewed and if the investigation could reasonably result in the employee’s discipline or if the employee requests to have a representative present, said employee shall be given a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed forty-eight (48) hours, to secure the representative assigned and authorized by the ASSOCIATION. 3. Complaints against Sheriff’s Office employees shall not be impeded in any way. Therefore, complainants shall be immediately referred to an on duty supervisor. Complaints will be accepted regardless of the method of delivery. A complainant’s decision not to place their complaint in writing shall have no bearing on whether a complaint is investigated, as long as complaint is reduced to writing by employee receiving complaint and signed by the complainant. When a supervisor initiates an investigation, the complainant is deemed to be the Office of the Sheriff. 4. During such an investigation, the employee subject to said investigation shall not be directed by the Department to appear in front of a non- supervisory complainant or a complainant from the general public. The employee shall not be investigated by a supervisor who has a personal interest in the investigation. B. Nothing herein shall restrict the COUNTY/Sheriff’s Office from making basic inquiries of employees concerning incidents or matters not subject to an Internal Affairs investigation. It is understood, however, that during such inquiries, employees could, under reasonable circumstances, invoke their Xxxxxxxxxx Rights. 16.1 DEFINITION‌‌‌‌‌
