Inspectional Services is made up of the Internal Affairs Squad and the Security Squad. Inspectional Services conducts all internal investigations involving police personnel, as well as other sensitive investigations. Officers assigned to these units are appointed by the Director of Police and are considered to be highly experienced investigators.

Internal Affairs
The purpose of the Internal Affairs Squad is to define responsibilities and establish procedures for sworn members of this department for dealing with observed or reported allegations or misconduct. Internal Affairs investigates all complaints lodged against police personnel. These complaints can range from verbal abuse to brutality. The majority of these complaints fall under three categories: Personal Conduct, Use of Force and Arrest, and Duty Performance.

Security Squad
The Security Squad investigates all shooting incidents involving police officers and any complaints regarding possible criminal misconduct against employees. These investigations include accusations against officers, city employees from various departments, and other administrative investigations. 

The Security Squad is also responsible for teaching Deadly Force lectures at the Training Academy during In-Service Training for veteran officers. Their Deadly Force lecture was also part of the training received by all citizens enrolled in the Citizen’s Police Academy.
