Special Investigations Unit

The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) is an independent agency responsible for thoroughly examining incidents involving law enforcement officers that result in serious injury, death, or allegations of misconduct. Its goal is to determine whether officers followed proper procedures and laws during their actions. The SIU's investigations help maintain public trust by ensuring accountability and transparency when incidents occur, providing objective oversight outside of police departments. It operates under legal frameworks that define its authority and scope, and its findings can lead to disciplinary action, criminal charges, or exoneration, supporting fairness in law enforcement practices.
