• To encourage and protect employees that confront and report serious misconduct, the department has strengthened its policies and procedures to provide additional protections beyond those included in the California Whistleblower Protection Act (Government Code section 8547 et seq.) and other California protective statutes. This reporting of misconduct process and the protection offered by the department are detailed in the department’s “Policy and Procedure for Reporting Serious Misconduct and Protecting Employees from Retaliation.” The procedures may be obtained by contacting the OIAOffice of Internal Affairs and are available on the OIAOffice of Internal Affairs web page.
