Officer Involved Shooting Team
The Officer Involved Shooting (OIS) team is comprised of eight (8) Sergeants who investigate Officer Involved Shootings.
Pitchess Motions
Internal Affairs Investigators spent a large amount of time responding to Pitchess Motions (when defendants in criminal proceedings request information about the arresting and/or investigating officers), as well as all of the civil claims that are filed against the Department. Almost all of the civil cases have pre-trial discovery investigations with attorneys for upcoming trials.
