The Eugene Police Department’s Office of Professional Standards is led by the Professional Standards Manager who oversees the Internal Affairs Sergeant, the Policy Development and Accreditation Sergeant, the Quality Assurance Analyst and the Professional Standards Program Coordinator.
The primary purpose of EPD’s Internal Affairs Unit is to process and track all complaints, inquiries and commendations involving Eugene Police Department personnel. Internal Affairs works with the Police Auditor’s office to ensure that citizen comments or complaints about police personnel are tracked and followed up on appropriately. Although complaint investigations can be assigned to any department supervisor, an internal affairs sergeant is regularly assigned as the primary fact-finding investigator for certain types of complaints.
