Does the IAB on call Lieutenant send a team when a deputy is relieved of duty?

The procedure regarding whether the Internal Affairs Bureau (IAB) on-call Lieutenant sends a team when a deputy is relieved of duty involves several nuances. The correct response indicates that the IAB does not automatically send a team in every instance a deputy is relieved of duty.

Typically, relief of duty actions are context-dependent and may arise from various situations, such as administrative issues or incidents requiring an investigation. The IAB is usually involved in cases that warrant a formal inquiry or when misconduct is suspected, as determined by departmental protocols. This decision is not a blanket rule for every situation and is guided by the specifics of each case, the nature of the incident, and applicable policies.

It is important to recognize that scenarios classified under serious misconduct may prompt different internal responses, where an IAB team could be deployed. The decision to mobilize resources such as a team is generally based on the severity of the allegation or situation rather than a routine standard protocol for all cases of deputies being relieved of duty.
