In addition to the investigations the Office of Professional Standards responded
to numerous requests for information concerning Giglio/Brady status of officers,
incident recordings captured on the Equature system, and personnel investigative
file requests from Superior Court

INVESTIGATIVE SOFTWARE ACQUISITION

Beginning in late December 2015 the Professional Standards began using the
IMC investigative module as the template for the Administrative Investigations.
The use of the system has provided standardization and formatting of
investigations and provides a central repository for the investigations. Access to
the investigations is controlled by ‘rights’ that can be granted. Currently the
‘rights’ are retained only by the Colonel and the Professional Standards
commander.

Training Division

The department’s in-service
training calendar for 2019
included recertifications in
Breathalyzer, CPR/AED, Taser,
and Patrol Rifle. We conducted
annual trainings in mental health
awareness, defensive tactics
(LOCKUP), less-lethal (OC,
ASP, and handcuffing), use of
force reporting, legal updates,
and policy review. As part of the
continuing initiative to provide
officers with the most up-to-date
training, we provided training for
an active threat/shooter
response. This training was
conducted inside a retired
school building to provide
officers with a real-time
simulation of a school floor plan and the challenges that they can be faced with.
Although some of these programs are not CALEA required, it demonstrates the
diversity of the training curriculum provided to our officers to ensure that they have
the most up-to-date law enforcement training.
