It is essential that public confidence be maintained in the ability of the department to investigate and properly adjudicate complaints against its members. Additionally, the department has the responsibility to seek out and discipline those whose conduct discredits the department or impairs its effective operation. The rights of the employee, as well as those of the public must be preserved, and any investigation or hearing arising from a complaint must be conducted in an open and fair manner with truth as its primary objective. The department accepts complaints against its members and fully investigates all such complaints to the appropriate disposition.
