121.0 COMPLAINTS AGAINST POLICE DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEES
Each complaint or allegation of misconduct by an employee of the
Oklahoma City Police Department, whether from a private citizen or
from another employee, will be fully investigated and the results
will be reported to both the complainant and the accused employee.
Employees receiving a complaint will refer the complaint to the
affected employee's supervisor. If a satisfactory disposition
cannot be immediately reached with the complaining party the
supervisor will refer the complainant ~long with a report of the
details of the complaint to the Division Commander of the
employee(s) against whom the allegation is made, or if appropriate,
the Chief of Police. Formal complaints, requiring the signature of
the complainant, will only be taken during normal business hours at
the Division office of the affected employee or normal business
hours at the City Manager's office. Formal complaints will not be
accepted by employees during any other time. However, when an
employee receives information about a formal complaint he will make
a report of the information gathered from the complainant.
After the accused employee' s supervisor has received the com
plaint and interviewed the complaining party he will advise the
employee of the details of the complaint and request a report of
the incident from the employee.
In the event that a complaint received by an employee is of alleged
criminal behavior, the complaint will be referred to the
appropriate Investigations Bureau Unit as determined by the Chief
of Police.
At the discretion of the Chief of Police, a complaint may be
referred to the Internal Affairs Unit for investigation. The
completed investigation will be referred to the Chief of Police.
Other complaints will be investigated at the Unit, Division or
Bureau level as determined by the Chief of Police based on the
nature of the alleged misconduct. The findings of such
investigations will be forwarded to the Chief of Police via the
chain of command. ·
Employees will be afforded their constitutional rights as they
relate to either a criminal investigation or an administrative
investigation.
Employees may, with permission of the Chief of Police, be directed
to submit to a polygraph examination during an administrative
investigation.
The Chief of Police may determine to refer a completed
investigation to the Departmental Review Board. The Board will
record the proceedings, and when requested by the Chief of Police,
make recommendations on disciplinary action.
All complaints or allegations will be determined to fit in one of
the following categories when the investigation is complete:
A. "Unfounded" - when investigation shows the alleged acts
did not occur.
.
B. "Exonerated" - when investigation indicates the act(s)
occurred, but did not constitute misconduct.
c. "Not Sustained" - when evidence is inconclusive.
D. "Sustained" - when evidence indicates the employee did
commit some or all of the acts alleged and the acts
constitute misconduct.
E. "Misconduct Not Based on Complaint" - when the evidence
indicates the employee did commit acts which constitute
misconduct which were not the b~sis of the complaint.
F. "Withdrawn" when the complainant withdraws the
complaint and there is insufficient evidence to warrant
further investigation.
All completed investigations will be forwarded to the Internal
Affairs Unit where they will be filed. A permanent complaint
register will be maintained in the Internal Affairs Unit. The
investigative file and register will be maintained for
administrative use and will be kept confidential, with information
disseminated only upon order of the Chief of Police.
The investigative file, including all reports, will be purged on an
annual basis after the expiration of a two (2) year period,
provided that there is currently no pending litigation on the case
and the grievance period has lapsed for any employee discipline as
a result of the investigation. The actual destruction of these
files shall commence only upon approval of the Chief of Police.
All disciplinary actions shall be made at the discretion of the
Chief of Police, although he may delegate authority for minor
disciplinary actions to supervisory personnel.
A letter concerning the nature of the complaint, the disposition,
and disciplinary action will be placed in the Departmental
Personnel File only when the complaint or allegation is classified
as "Sustained". The personnel clerk will initiate any action
ordered by the Chief of Police.

Attachment #2
Oklahoma City utilizes both field officers and
field supervisors as Field Training Officers.
This depends upon the definition of senior police
officer. Officers at Oklahoma City must have three
years of field experience after their initial
probation period is over to be selected as an FTO
(approx. 4 1/2 years).
In addition to the requirements stated in the above
reply, officers must not be on any type of
probationary status, be assigned to the Operations
, Bureau and meet a height/weight requirement as set
by the FTO Program Commander. FTO applicants must
make written application and have a written
recommendation by their immediate supervisor. The
applicant must then appear before a board
consisting of the FTO Program Commander and four
experienced FTO Lieutenants. At the board, the
applicant must write a least a paragraph explaining
why he/she wants to be an FTO and then must answer
a series of oral questions at the board appearance.
The new FTO must successfully complete a 40 hour
seminar before they can begin any training. In
addition, the FTO must attend periodic in-services
to maintain an active status as a trainer.
All daily/weekly/monthly forms are reviewed by the
FTO's immediate supervisor and FTO administration.
If there is a recommendation of termination, this
is reviewed all the way up to the Chief of Police.
The Chief of Police has the final recommendation on
termination.

Title Los Angeles Webster Commission records, 1931-1992

Description Chaired by former federal judge and FBI and CIA Director William H. Webster, the Los Angeles Webster Commission assessed law enforcement's performance in connection with the April, 1992 Los Angeles civil unrest. The collection consists of materials collected and studied by the Commission over the course of its investigation. Materials pertain to both the Los Angeles incident specifically, and civil disturbance, civil unrest control, and policing tactics in general.

Included in the collection are the following: interviews with LAPD officers, law enforcement personnel, government officials, community leaders, and activists; articles, broadcasts, and press releases covering the civil unrest; various tactical and contingency plans created for disasters and emergencies; reports, studies, and manuals about civil unrest control and prevention; literature about community-based policing strategies; emergency plans and procedures developed by other cities; and after-action reports issued once the civil unrest had subsided. Also featured are items related to the internal operations of the LAPD both before and during the civil unrest, including activity reports, meeting agendas and minutes, arrest data, annual reports, curricula and educational materials, and personnel rosters.
