Our Approach
While common threads are presented in every investigative strategy, we will develop an individualized strategy for each matter. Our Investigative team is well versed in federal and state laws, forensic interview techniques, and uphold the underlying principles of fairness and impartiality.
before the investigation
Before the Investigation, a preliminary review is conducted. This intake includes a review of the allegations and initial collection of documentation, the identification of credible sources of data and testimony, and the potential impact of the incident. Once the preliminary review has been conducted, the team will map out a proposed investigative plan and determine the necessary resources, timeline and scope of the investigation, which will be tailored to the specific incident. The investigative plan and timeline will be shared.
during the investigation
During an investigation, the investigator will typically take the following steps: gather relevant documents including governing policies, regulations and protocols; interview witnesses and named parties; view video evidence should it exist; and, visit the site of the alleged incident, when appropriate. Our investigators who remain unbiased, professional, and objective throughout the process will exhaust all reasonable efforts to ensure a meticulous and rigorous gathering and review of relevant information
after the investigation
After the investigation has been completed, a investigative report will be prepared. The report will be thorough, clear, and concise in its presentation of the facts. The report will also provide an overview of the facts and findings of the investigation, and any relevant recommendations or actions to be taken, including, when appropriate, those related to potential systemic risks or concerns. The report will be distributed in the agreed upon manner. With this information, decision makers will be able to make well-informed decisions about next steps, including disciplinary action where warranted.
