Internal affairs (law enforcement) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Internal affairs (law enforcement) The internal affairs (United States terminology) refers to a division of a law enforcement agency that investigates incidents and plausible suspicions of lawbreaking and professional misconduct attributed to officers on the force. Internal affairs can also refer to cases of misconduct and criminal behavior involving police officers. In different systems, internal affairs can go by other names such as "Internal Investigations Division" (usually referred to as 'IID'), "professional standards," "inspectorate general", Office of Professional Responsibility or similar. Non-internal affairs officers often derisively refer to the departments as the "rat squad".〔(New York Times article "N.Y.P.D. Confidential" )〕 Due to the sensitive nature of this responsibility, in many departments, officers employed in an internal affairs unit are not in a detective command, but report directly to the agency's chief, or to a board of civilian police commissioners. Internal Affairs investigators are bound by stringent rules when conducting their investigations. In California, the Peace Officers Bill of Rights (POBR) is a mandated set of rules found in the Government Code.〔Text of "(Peace Officers Bill of Rights )" - (Peace Officers Research Association of California (PORAC) )〕 ==Internal affairs function== The internal affairs function is not an enforcement function, but rather a policing function that works to report only.〔Kelly, S.F. (2003). Internal Affairs. FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin, 72(7), 1.〕 The concept of internal affairs is very broad and unique to each police department.〔Hein, J. (2013). ''Inside internal affairs: An in depth look at the people, process, & politics.'' Flushing, NY: Looseleaf Law Publications.〕 However, the sole purpose to having an internal affairs unit is to investigate and find the truth to what occurred when an officer is accused of misconduct. An investigation can also give insight on a policy itself that may have issues.〔
