Internal Investigations. (A) The parties recognize that Florida Highway Patrol personnel occupy a special place in American society. Therefore, it is understood that the state has the right to expect that a professional standard of conduct be adhered to by all Florida Highway Patrol personnel regardless of rank or assignment. Since internal investigations may be undertaken to inquire into complaints of Florida Highway Patrol misconduct, the state reserves the right to conduct such investigations to uncover the facts in each case, but expressly agrees to carefully guard and protect the rights and dignity of accused personnel. In the course of an internal investigation, the investigative methods employed will be consistent with the law (including but not limited to section 112.532, Florida Statutes) and this agreement; nothing in this agreement, however, shall be deemed to diminish the rights of employees under applicable law.

When a bargaining unit member suspected of a violation is being interviewed, such interview shall be recorded at the request of either party by the requesting party. If recordings are made the other party shall be provided a copy. Nothing herein shall be construed as restricting members of the bargaining unit from reporting violations of Departmental rules or policy committed by other members of the bargaining unit. All employees of the bargaining unit shall be responsible for reporting violations of Department rules and regulations, statutes, and appropriate standards of conduct. If any of the procedures of this Article are violated, such violations shall be subject to the grievance procedure.
