Phase 2: In compliance

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.
(Negotiated Settlement Agreement III. C.)
Background:
OPD has been in compliance with this Task since the sixth reporting period.
Discussion:
As previously reported, on January 25, 2007, OPD published Internal Affairs Policy &
Procedures 07-01, Integrity Testing, which incorporates the requirements of this Task. The
Department updated this policy in January 2009. The revised policy also incorporates the
requirements of Task 3. As the Department has trained at least 95% of relevant personnel on this
revised policy, we find OPD in continued Phase 1 compliance with this Task.
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 –
including operations plans, after-action reports, supporting documents, and evidence – related to
the 12 integrity tests that were conducted from October 1 through December 31, 2013. Our
review focused on the scope of the investigations, whether OPD conducted integrity tests on
members and employees who were the subject of repeated allegations, and whether the selective
integrity tests that OPD conducted complied with the parameters established by IAD. Of the 12
tests conducted during this reporting period, five were planned tests, in which the Integrity
