Disciplinary Actions Overview – Council Bluffs Police Department

Written by CBKN76

The Council Bluffs Police Department’s Internal Affairs Unit investigates complaints against officers, which can be filed by the public or other officers. Complaints are classified into four dispositions: Unfounded, Exonerated, Not Sustained, and Sustained. Disciplinary actions for sustained complaints range from oral reprimands to termination, depending on factors such as the seriousness of the offense and any previous misconduct. Specific statistics on the total number of disciplinary actions, types of violations, and use-of-force incidents in recent years are not publicly disclosed.
