HackMDMPBS: Internal Affairs Handbook
Quota
As an internal affairs investigator, you are required to meet a quota. The quota may be changed, but of now it is 1 investigation every week. The only exception for an unfulfilled quota is:
- You have filled out a LOA
- There have not been enough investigations
- You have been given permission by a Head Investigator+
Investigation Procedure
You must follow the procedure or you will be whipped.
-
Gather all of the evidence provided, if it is sufficient enough to proceed with an investigation, do so. If not, then put it in the 'Dropped Cases' section.
-
Go into the Discord messages of the employee being investigated, introduce yourself with this, Hello [Employee Rank] [Employee Name], I am [Your Rank] [Your Name]. You are currently under investigation. Do not go on team, or fail to comply. Would you like to know why I am placing you under investigation?
-
If they say yes, tell them, and show the proof. If they say no, then don't.
-
Proceed to get a statement regarding them and the proof, if they said no then show them the proof anyways. If they fail to comply with you, be sure to inform a head investigator+.
-
Use your judgment to give a fair punishment.
-
End the investigation and put it in archived cases, and use the format.
Note: If it is a first time offense, don't be too harsh on them. If it is a second time offense, be more harsh. If it is a third time offense and they have not learnt from the first 3, give them the harshest punishment you can.
