Revisions to: HOP 3-1022 Protection from Retaliation for Suspected Misconduct Reporting (Whistleblower)
Allegation of violations are reviewed and decided by the Department of Investigation and Adjudication (DIA). Prior to this update, there was no appeal if DIA determined, after an initial review, that there was no violation. This policy is being revised to provide additional due process to Complainants who have good cause to disagree with DIA’s finding. This process is consistent with other polices that DIA enforces.
