4. Enable the District’s attorney to render professional, legal advice to the Chief or designee.
B. The section establishes the guidelines for conduct of Internal Investigative interviews. The existence of an Internal Investigative Officer/s does not lessen a commanding officer’s authority or responsibility. To ensure that interviews are conducted in a manner that is conducive to good order and discipline, the following guidelines are promulgated:
1. When an employee who is a sworn certified police officer is under investigation by the employer for alleged actions that could result in administrative action, the employee shall be afforded all rights provided by the New Mexico Peace Officer’s Employer-Employee Relations Act as amended, other employment laws (Refer to appendix A), and applicable employment laws.

3. The department shall notify the employee under investigation of the date and time of the interview at least twenty-four (24) hours in advance of the interview being conducted unless the investigation requires otherwise.
4. If the investigation is due to a citizen’s complaint, that citizen will be asked to sign a statement clearly stating the allegation. The officer shall be informed of the nature of the investigation, and the names of the known complainants, unless the Chief or designee determines that the identification of the complainant shall not be disclosed because it is necessary for the protection of an informant or because disclosure would jeopardize or compromise the integrity of security of the investigation.
5. In the event it is determined that the complainant falsified the complaint, the Department shall take whatever action it deems appropriate, and the officer may pursue legal remedies against the complainant and will advise the Chief of Police in writing that he/she is pursuing legal remedies against the complainant.

9. Disciplinary actions and determinations shall only be made by the Chief of Police or his designee.
10. Investigation of an officer will be conducted as soon as possible. The officer being investigated may contact the person conducting the investigation to determine the status of the internal investigation.
11. Upon completion of the investigation, the Chief or his designee shall review the facts and shall make a finding. The Chief or his designee, in writing, shall notify the officer being investigated as to the disposition of the investigation within ten (10) days of its completion.
