Its rate of 114.3 investigations per 100 officers was below the 125.6 median for municipal police. None of the 8 investigations detailed for 2025 reported a sustained complaint. The most common allegation was Other Departmental Rule Violation, with Conduct Unbecoming/Discredit To The Agency and Excessive Force also recorded.
Across the 2020-2025 releases no major discipline records appear for the department, and the absence of records is not a finding on its own.

A higher volume of internal affairs activity can reflect more misconduct or a stronger reporting culture.
