INVESTIGATION RESPONSE. Investigations may require the use of qualified interpreters in order to properly protect the rights of the suspect and/or to ensure the accuracy of the information related to the investigation that is being provided by a deaf or hard of hearing victim or witness. Appropriate auxiliary aids and services, including a qualified interpreter will always be offered when interviewing a deaf or hard of hearing complainant or witness. While the deaf or hard of hearing person may approve the use of a family member or friend who is eighteen (18) years of age or older to facilitate communication when filing a report, police personnel will arrange an interview with a qualified interpreter if necessary to protect the integrity of the report. The following situations will always require the use of a certified interpreter by scheduling an interview at a mutually agreeable date and time: The hearing-impaired person is:
a. Involved in a major accident involving serious injuries.
b. Suspected of a felony offense.
c. Under arrest for any Class B misdemeanor or greater or for driving while intoxicated (DWI) and is being given the statutory or DWI warning.
d. Suspected of committing a serious offense and is being interrogated under conditions requiring Miranda warnings.
e. Being given an Intoxilyzer, blood or urine test.
f. Giving an oral or sign-language statement. A certified interpreter will also be used whenever a sworn statement is being obtained from a deaf or hard of hearing person who is a complainant or witness.
INVESTIGATION RESPONSE. Within sixty (60) days of execution of this Agreement the District will conduct and complete an investigation, pursuant to the District’s Uniform Complaint Procedures (UCP) to determine whether the Students have been subjected to a hostile environment due to harassment by other students, particularly while on the playground, on the basis of disability, or due to any lack of adequate response to allegations of harassment by the District. The investigation will be conducted by an individual who has not previously been involved in, or witness to, any of the incidents alleged to have constituted disability-based harassment or any incidents that resulted in disciplinary consequences to the Students. If the investigation results in a finding that the Students were subjected to disability-based peer harassment, the District will determine what further actions, if any, are necessary to stop the harassment and prevent it from recurring, and to eliminate the hostile environment.
INVESTIGATION RESPONSE. If you make a complaint, an acknowledgement letter will be sent to you within 5 working days of the complaint being received informing you of who will carry out the investigation. A full response will be provided within 20 working days by the investigating director or their representative, unless an outside organisation is involved.
INVESTIGATION RESPONSE. When it has been determined that investigative resources are needed during the contracted service hours, the Sheriff, through the contracted deputy and/or on-duty field supervisor, will notify the Town Xxxxxxxx or their designee of the need. It is the Sheriff’s preference to retain the responsibility for all follow-up investigation for any CFS that the contracted deputy responds to during the contracted service hours for any persons-related crime (e.g. domestic violence, assault, kidnapping, murder, etc.), death investigation, or where an arrest was made by the Sheriff’s Office, and utilize Sheriff’s investigative resources for such, consistent with the IGA. For incidents outside of the aforementioned crimes or incidents, the Town Marshal or their designee will determine if the Town will respond to assume the investigation, or make a request for Sheriff’s investigative resources. The Town may request the Sheriff maintain the responsibility of a CFS for investigation outside of the aforementioned investigation types, but may request a member of the Town police department assist for career and skill development. The Town retains the responsibility for all follow-up investigations for CFS they initially respond to outside of the contracted service hours regardless of call or investigation type, unless a Mutual Aid Request is made to the Sheriff for assistance.
