How many complaints to Internal Affairs warrant tracking by the GAP over a 12-month period?

Tracking complaints to Internal Affairs by the Government Accountability Program (GAP) is typically mandated when there are three or more complaints within a 12-month period. This threshold ensures that the department monitors ongoing issues more closely and can address patterns that may indicate systemic problems or the need for further investigation or training. Monitoring these complaints allows the organization to uphold standards and ensure accountability within the department. By setting the bar at three, it strikes a balance between addressing legitimate concerns and avoiding unnecessary investigations based on minimal complaints.
