Part 2 – Administrative Action – PART INCLUDES A SECTION A&B. KEEP SECTION A&B ON THE SAME DOCUMENT

The Michael Slager case is an extreme example of misconduct that resulted in an officer being arrested and charged with a crime. More often, issues are handled within the department at the administrative level with the offender being officially reprimanded or perhaps terminated.

ASSIGNMENT

For this assignment, focus on the gas leak scenario in M2.2. – Scenario attached is labeled “gas leak”

You are the captain that oversees PO Watson and have been tasked with investigating her actions during the suspected gas leak. As part of the investigation, you must identify the parties involved that should be interviewed to get all necessary information about the incident in order to write a report.

There are two parts to the assignment that will be written in a paper. First, you will identify key individuals and write interview questions for them. Then, you will write a report related to the incident.

Keep in mind that most police departments are quite small and the possibility of civil damages related to misconduct could cripple the department. Investigations and resulting actions are critical to maintain strict compliance with departmental policies and procedures.

Part A

In preparation for your investigation, you should include the following:

• Identify the individuals that will be part of your investigation, state why they were identified, and give a brief description of what you expect to learn from them.
• Write interview questions for each and why you have included those questions.
  • Create 5-7 interview questions for each individual related to the who, what, when, where, why, and perhaps how of the incident.

Part B

Assume that during your investigation, you determined that PO Watson acted inappropriately and that she violated Mr. Sanford’s constitutional rights. As a result, there is a need for PO Watson to be formally reprimanded.

Write a misconduct report based on the facts of the incident and what you learned in your interviews for PO Watson concerning her actions during the suspected gas leak. Focus on the following in your report:

• The facts of the incident.
• Ways in which she violated Mr. Sanford’s constitutional rights.
• Your method to reprimand her.
• A plan to avoid a similar event in the future.

In the quick links below you will find an example misconduct report.
