Why Use An Independent Investigator?

Public Perception 

Utilizing the service of an independent investigator adds credibility to the impartiality of the investigation and helps to mitigate public perception of agency blas. By performing an independent investigation, the agency demonstrates their commitment to establishing and maintaining public trust and  confidence.

Unbiased

Let's face it. when staff members investigate other staff members, there will generally be some level of actual or perceived existing bias due to current and prior relationships. Maintaining an objective view of the facts, for an internal investigator, can be extremely challenging and may result in an investigation that does not completely serve either the involved employee(s) or the agency.

Time Consuming for Staff

Your staff members are busy. they have other duties and a proper personnel investigation can be time consuming. When conducted by internal staff, as an additional duty, investigations may take longer to complete than if outsourced. This extension may cause unnecessary stress to the involved personnel and to the entire organization awaiting a resolution

Supports Team Cohesion and Agency Morale 

When agency leadership can rely on an experienced, unbiased independent investigator to gather and present relevant facts, many of the negative potential Impacts associated with internal Investigations can be avoided Staff members and members of the public must trust the impartiality of the investigative process and know that decisions are being made based on unbiased facts. Armed with this knowledge, agency leaders can confidently assure and demonstrate, to all stake holders that the agency is committed to a high level of service by ensuring professional accountability
