This training program will explore best practices for conducting an investigation. It will explore in detail the requirement of a formal written report following the investigation. Writing the investigative report actually begins from the very beginning of your investigation and continues throughout the process.
A number of critical actions are required as part of your investigation. These include determining credibility of each interviewee, corroborating evidence and reaching a conclusion. The report is necessary in helping you determine credibility and corroborate evidence because it memorializes the complaint and the investigative process.
In order to write a thorough report, investigators must make a decision as to whether the investigated misconduct was a violation of any laws or policies and present these findings in an objective, accurate and concise manner. An in-depth comprehensive investigative report memorializes the investigation, and can be evidence that an investigation actually occurred to minimize your liability.
