The Independent Investigation Team consists of qualified and certified law enforcement investigators and at least two non-law enforcement community representatives.

About the Team

The Independent Investigation Team (IIT) investigates the use of deadly force by a police officer when it results in death, substantial bodily harm, or great bodily harm, as required by Washington's Law Enforcement Training and Community Safety Act. The goal is to enhance accountability and increase trust between law enforcement and the community. The IIT conducts the investigation in the same manner as a criminal investigation. The IIT operates completely independently of any involved agency's administrative investigation to conduct criminal investigations of police use of deadly force incidents.

Established By
