CITY OF RIVERSIDE <br />COMMUNITY POLICE REVIEW COMMISSION <br />NOT SUSTAINED — When the investigation discloses that there is insufficient <br />evidence to sustain the complaint of fully exonerate the employee. <br />UNFOUNDED — When the investigation discloses that the alleged act(s) either <br />did occur or did not involve RPD personnel <br />EXONERATED — When the investigation discloses that the alleged act <br />occurred, but that the act was justified, lawful and proper. <br />INCOMPLETE — A matter in which the complaining party wither refuses to <br />cooperate or becomes unavailable after diligent follow-up investigation. <br />Depending on the seriousness of the complaint and the availability of sufficient <br />information, incomplete matters may be further investigated. <br />PREVIOUS ADMINSTRATIVE REVIEW — A matter in which the actions of the <br />employee(s) have been determined to be in policy in a previous administrative <br />investigation and no further information, or other justification for renewed <br />examination, is provided or discovered beyond what was already known at the <br />time of the Previous Administrative Review. <br />OTHER JUDICIAL REVIEW —The finding is intended to address complaints in <br />which the matter has been handled or would most appropriately by handled, by <br />a judicial authority having jurisdiction over the matter. <br />Example 1: A member of the public complains that an officer failed to interpret a <br />child custody order in the same manner as the community member interpreted <br />it. <br />Example 2: A motorist complains about a traffic citation and the only issue is the <br />motorist's guilt or innocence for the violation. No other issue of employee <br />behavior is raised. <br />Example 3: A person complains that they were convicted of a crime that they did <br />not commit. Assuming that no new evidence is provided beyond what the <br />defendant raised or had the opportunity raised in court, the appropriate finding <br />would be Other Judicial Review. <br />FRIVOLOUS — Complaints that are totally and completely without merit, or which <br />are made for the sole purpose of harassing a police employee may be classified <br />with a finding of frivolous as defined in Section 128.5 of the California Code of <br />Civil Procedure. <br />NOTE: If, in the course of its deliberations, the Commission finds that consideration <br />should be addressed to policy, training, supervision, or other issues, the <br />Policy and Procedures Page 9 of 20 <br />
