Who are considered exceptions to the CP-5 Truthfulness regulations during investigations?

The correct response acknowledges that the CP-5 Truthfulness regulations during investigations do not apply to specific roles within the investigation process. Internal affairs investigators, criminal investigators, and polygraph examiners are typically provided allowances due to the nature of their work. These individuals often handle sensitive information or conduct investigations where truthful reporting is critical for legal and procedural reasons, thus making them exceptions to the standard truthfulness regulations that apply to other personnel.

Internal affairs investigators examine complaints against department employees, requiring them to work under different standards due to the nature of their investigations. Criminal investigators may handle cases involving serious offenses where gathering evidence could necessitate deviations from standard truthfulness protocols. Polygraph examiners, given their role in analyzing truthfulness through biometric data, also fall under a different category due to the specialized nature of their job.

The other roles listed do not possess the same allowances as those specified, which is why they do not qualify for the exceptions established by the CP-5 regulations. This understanding provides a clear framework of the responsibilities and expectations for these specialized positions within the department’s investigative processes.
