Discipline

If the CPOA investigation determines that there were SOP violations, it may recommend disciplinary actions to the Office of Police Reform in accordance with the Chart of Sanctions (SOP 3-46: Discipline System). The Office of Police Reform is provided with the CPOA case file and a Disciplinary Action Packet (DAP).  The DAP provides the discipline calculation based on the SOP, class, sanction, and the officer’s progressive discipline history. The Office of Police Reform may impose the disciplinary recommendations at its discretion. If the Office of Police Reform deviates from the CPOA’s recommended discipline or finding, they have 30 days to explain why they disagree with the CPOA in a written memo.
