ARRANGEMENT: Numerical by case number.

DESCRIPTION: These records support the agency's function to investigate complaints or allegations of misconduct or improper job performance against any Department of Public Safety employee, including peace officers, dispatchers, and civilian employees that, if true, would constitute a violation of Department policy. The agency investigates for the purpose of administering employee discipline, not for legal purposes. The Department of Public Safety has a policy which classifies investigations into categories based on the seriousness of the allegations. This record series contains complaints or investigation requests and the resulting investigation records for the allegations classified as category two, including policy violations that are not criminal in nature but are serious enough to warrant official discipline. Examples include complaints of unprofessional or rude tone used with customer, tardiness, or ending a shift with less than half of a tank of gasoline in work vehicle.
