Which option lists the unit tasked with investigating misconduct allegations against police officers?

• A. Mollen Commission
• B. Police deception
• C. Internal affairs divisions
• D. Bike patrol

Answer: (C)

Investigating misconduct by officers is handled by internal affairs divisions. These units are dedicated to examining complaints about police behavior, conducting formal investigations, gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and determining whether policies or laws were violated. Their purpose is to protect the integrity of the department while ensuring due process for the officers involved, often recommending discipline or referral to other authorities when warranted. The other options don’t fit this role: a civilian body like the Mollen Commission was an external inquiry into corruption, not the department’s routine internal investigative unit; bike patrol is a patrol specialty focused on visibility and response, not investigations; and “police deception” isn’t a formal investigative unit at all.
