The Internal Affairs function plays an important part in the maintenance of professional conduct within the DeKalb County Police Department. The integrity of the Department depends on the personal integrity and discipline of each employee.
To a large degree, the public image of the Department is determined by the quality of the Internal Affairs function responding to allegations of misconduct by the agency or its employees.
When a citizen lodges a complaint against a member of the DeKalb County Police Department, it is reviewed by the Internal Affairs Unit and subsequently investigated by an Internal Affairs Detective or the employee’s supervisor.
To ensure public trust and maintain the Department’s integrity, the Internal Affairs Unit conducts immediate, objective, and thorough investigations of all complaints. |
