Informal Complaint Resolution Process. In August, the Audit and Inspections Unit of the Office of Inspector General began conducting an audit the Oakland Police Department’s (OPD) informal complaint resolution process. The purpose of the audit was to determine if OPD’s informal complaint resolution process is in accordance with the established guidelines in Departmental General Order (DGO) M-3.1, Informal Complaint Resolution Process. Additionally, the intent of the audit was to identify policy, procedure, and/or practice deficiencies and to propose solutions that will aid in the Department’s supervisors’, or any authorized personnel’s, abilities to effectively, efficiently, and expediently informally resolve complaints against members/employees. The audit indicated that the Department’s process for informally resolving complaints is not efficient, and based on current policies, procedures, and practice, the goal of the ICR process is unclear. Its documented policies and procedures do not provide sufficient direction to its supervisors, commanders and managers and authorized Internal Affairs Division personnel. The following is a list of policy, procedure, and/or practice deficiencies found during the audit: • The auditor was unable to determine how complaints that qualify to be informally resolved should be received and processed from beginning to end. When referencing DGO M-3.1 to determine how to receive and process a complaint, the policy refers the reader to DGO M-3 and vice versa. Since both polices reference each other, this creates circular reasoning and not an answer for executing the process. • The auditor was unable to determine whether allegations should be investigated prior to being informally resolved, and if they are, to what degree. DGO M-3.1 does not state to what degree complaints against a member/employee should be investigated while DGO M-3 states that all complaints shall be investigated. Hence, it is unclear how the process of informally resolving a complaint differs from formally resolving a complaint. It is also unclear whether the allegations that qualify for the ICR process should be resolved immediately or within Government Code 3304’s one year resolution time frame. • The auditor was unable to determine who, primarily, should informally resolve complaints. DGO M-3.1 states that complaints can be received by IAD and an organizational unit other than IAD. For more details, the policy refers the reader to DGO M-3, and, again, the start of circular reasoning. In practic...
