Recommendation

UUPS should conduct a review of the on-call detective compensation, duties and expectations. UUPS should implement policies and procedures to ensure that detectives brief each other on their cases so that an on-call detective who is not the primary investigator is at least somewhat familiar with a situation if contacted. This briefing should include the detectives and sergeants. UUPS should adopt and implement policies to ensure that sensitive email and voicemail communications are handled in a timely manner. UUPS should direct that detective sergeants take a more active role in case assignment, management and follow-up.
