Investigation to be Conducted. An internal investigation will be required under the following circumstances: A. A personal injury requiring hospital treatment occurs as a result of police action, regardless of whether the injured person is in custody. This provision shall also apply to injuries sustained by department members. B. Deadly force is deployed by a department member, regardless of whether injury results. This provision shall not apply to the use of deadly force to euthanize an animal in accordance with department policy. C. Any allegation of substantial wrongdoing, including criminal conduct or serious violations of University or Police Department policy or procedure, which was not witnessed directly by a supervisory officer. D. Any other circumstance deemed appropriate by the Chief of Police, who shall have final authority to determine when an internal investigation shall be conducted. In all other disciplinary matters not requiring an internal investigation, or in situations witnessed directly by a supervisory officer, the Corrective Action article herein shall control. For purposes of this Agreement “Substantial Wrongdoing” shall be defined as misconduct which by virtue of its severity could result in immediate suspension or termination, irrespective of prior progressive discipline (For Example, tardiness and absenteeism shall not be the subject of an internal investigation even if the number of violations could require suspension or termination under progressive discipline).
