What does the PSB do after logging an IA case number?

The appropriate action after logging an Internal Affairs (IA) case number is to notify the respective bureau chief. This step is essential because it ensures that the relevant supervisory personnel are made aware of the situation and can take appropriate measures to address the matter. In many organizations, particularly within law enforcement or detention facilities, notifying supervisory figures is part of the procedural framework designed to maintain accountability and oversight throughout the investigation.

This process allows for the establishment of a management chain in handling the case, which can involve assigning investigators, gathering evidence, or implementing preliminary actions to address any immediate concerns related to the alleged misconduct. Following this chain of command is critical in maintaining the integrity and effectiveness of the investigation process.
