General Investigative Process and Procedures:
Once a complaint is received, a summary report is taken. The report is then screened by our staff based on the facts to determine the merit of the complaint and if our involvement would be beneficial.
In some cases our contact with the reporting party may conclude simply with a referral to another public or private agency.
Once the screening process is completed, a case is assigned for follow-up. The reporting party is interviewed and a full investigation ensues. All involved parties and potential witnesses are contacted and evidence is gathered.
Once the primary investigation is concluded, the case is again reviewed by the committee or staff for determination of findings and a subsequent “action plan” is structured.
If determined upon review that the available evidence is sufficient to prove that a wrong has been committed, we will first attempt to mediate between the parties to seek a reasonable conclusion.
If the defending/offending party in the case is uncooperative then perpetrators responsible are presented with a demand which includes the content and validity of the evidence against them. The offending party is given ample opportunity to fairly resolve the matter. Should they refuse to mediate they will also be advised any and all measures necessary will be taken to pursue any and all civil and/or criminal remedies.
Our ‘Globally’ positioned advocacy partners have developed proprietary methods to strongly encourage wrong doers to correct their errors and make good on their offense(s).
Experience has shown that in the majority of incidents once contact is made, many offending parties are moved to resolve these “disputes” without formal actions becoming necessary.
If necessary-USJC will network and collaborate with Law-Enforcement agencies of proper jurisdiction to work toward successful prosecution.
