When an employee is relieved from duty with pay when are they required to report to Internal Affairs?

• A. Next business day
• B. Immediately after shift ends
• C. Within 72 hours
• D. Upon completion of investigation

Answer: (A)

When someone is relieved from duty with pay, Internal Affairs needs to begin the intake and coordination for the investigation promptly. Reporting by the next business day ensures IA can log the case, assign an investigator, and schedule any necessary interviews while the details are fresh. This quick start helps preserve the integrity of the process and keeps the investigation moving without unnecessary delays. Waiting until after the investigation is complete would miss the chance to gather initial information and documentation, and waiting longer than one business day would stall essential administrative steps.
