Notify _____________ if an employee is arrested.

• A. IA Supervisor
• B. HR Director
• C. Patrol Captain
• D. Union Representative

Answer: (A)

When an employee is arrested, the proper step is to notify the Internal Affairs Supervisor. Internal Affairs handles investigations into employee misconduct, including criminal activity, and coordinates the formal review to determine what administrative actions, if any, are needed. This channel ensures the investigation is conducted objectively, confidentially, and in accordance with policy, preserving the integrity of the process.

HR Directors deal with personnel records and standard workforce issues, not lead internal misconduct investigations. A Patrol Captain is part of the chain of command and would need to be informed, but the responsibility for initiating and overseeing the investigation rests with Internal Affairs. A Union Representative represents the employee in certain proceedings, but is not the appropriate party to lead or initiate an internal investigation.
