Investigation Outcome. Any member who has been under investigation and after being informed of the investigation may, not less than twenty-eight (28) days after notification, forward a written inquiry to the responsible Deputy Chief as to the status of the investigation. In response to the member's inquiry, the member shall be advised of the status of the investigation and, if known, the estimated time necessary to complete the investigation. The investigation of citizen complaints shall be concluded within ninety (90) days after the date the complaint was received by the City. This deadline may be extended by the Lodge upon written request from the City. Such request will set forth rationale for the City’s inability to meet the ninety (90) day deadline and include an estimated time of completion. An agreement to extend an investigation beyond the ninety (90) days will not be unreasonably withheld by the Lodge. An investigation will be considered concluded on the date it is initially forwarded to the chain of command for review. If the applicable time limit is not met, or the investigation otherwise exceeds one-hundred eighty (180) days, no member will be disciplined arising out of the investigation of such citizen complaint. The ninety (90) day limit shall be held in abeyance pending determination by the chain of command to investigate criminal activity and during any on-going criminal investigation. Further, the ninety (90) day limit shall not apply to any chain of command review. At the conclusion of any investigation, the member shall be informed in writing of the outcome.
