Ingris Martinez explains the concept of 'fuller preliminary investigations' and how it has changed the investigation process.
- Fuller preliminary investigations involve collecting all information at once to avoid re-victimizing persons in custody
- All business records are collected at the initial stage of the investigation
- Supervisors are held responsible for ensuring all pieces of information are gathered
- Video and telephone monitoring systems are reviewed at the beginning of the investigation rather than later
- This approach allows for better determinations and more efficient reporting
- The change was implemented to address high volumes of complaints and minimize the need for follow-up investigations
