slight increase in cases received; if the upward trends continue, we will discuss with IAD its
plans for additional staffing. Also, the Chief approved 245 cases, a decrease of 95 cases from the
last reporting period. OPD is in compliance with Task 2.3.
OPD is in Phase 2 compliance with Task 2.
Compliance Status:
Phase 1: In compliance
Phase 2: In compliance
Next Steps:
During the next reporting period, we will again confer with IAD command staff regarding
workload trends and staffing requirements. In particular, we are interested in learning more
about the recent uptick in complaints, if this trend continues.
Task 3: IAD Integrity Tests
Requirements:
IAD shall be proactive as well as reactive.
1.
IAD shall conduct integrity tests in situations where members/employees are the
subject of repeated allegations of misconduct.
2.
IAD shall have frequency standards, among other parameters, for such integrity
tests.

Testing, which incorporates the requirements of this Task. The Department updated this policy
in January 2009. As the Department has trained at least 95% of relevant personnel on this
policy, we find OPD in continued Phase 1 compliance with this Task.
OPD has been in Phase 2 compliance with this Task since the sixth reporting period.
Task 3.1 requires that IAD conduct integrity tests in situations where members/employees are
the subject of repeated allegations of misconduct (compliance standard: Yes/No); and Task 3.2
requires that IAD’s integrity tests be conducted in accordance with the frequency standards and
other parameters IAD has established (compliance standard: 90%).
To assess the Department’s Phase 2 compliance with these subtasks, we reviewed files –

focused on the scope of the investigations, whether OPD conducted integrity tests on members
