If an officer is suspended for an off-duty incident for more than 60 days, where will their property be taken?

When an officer is suspended for an off-duty incident for an extended period of time, such as more than 60 days, their property is typically taken to the Administrative Investigation Unit (AIU). This is a critical procedure because the AIU is responsible for maintaining the integrity of investigations and handling matters pertaining to disciplinary actions against officers.

By relocating the officer's property to the AIU, the Department ensures that the property is secured and properly managed in the context of ongoing investigations or administrative actions. This helps to prevent any unauthorized access or mishandling of the officer's belongings, which could potentially compromise the investigation or disciplinary process.

Inversions such as taking property to an officer's home, a storage facility, or an inmate's locker do not align with the protocols established for managing property during disciplinary investigations. The AIU serves a specialized function in this context, offering a designated and secure environment for handling items associated with officers under investigation.
