Internal Affairs

General

The Internal Affairs Department is the APD's disciplinary system. APD discipline is conducted on a cumulative point system.

• When an officer reaches the demotion point threshold, they may be demoted temporarily at the APD staff's discretion.
• If the point total exceeds the demotion threshold, they may be removed from the APD.
• Point totals accumulate over time and will dissipate by 1 point per month.
• For 17 year old officers, points are doubled. If the officer is 16 or younger, points are quadrupled.
• Officers 16 and younger are not able to receive a rank higher than Constable.

Applicants to the APD must currently have no more than 2 points.

Sergeants cannot act on APD actions if the Sergeant is on civ. Lieutenants can.
