IO is a specialized agency, who’s sole purpose is to interrogate and gain counter intelligence on criminals and criminal organizations. SCSO and FSP have much more duties and responsibilities and in firestone it makes much more sense to have IO handle interrogations after bank robberies, shootings, and other major situations.

I could also say that about a lot of things that DOC does such as responding to bank alarms and hostage situations

Because it’s in their jurisdiction, and they are trained to an extent to deal with those scenarios. They are NOT trained to successfully execute an SS Motorcade and Personal Protection Detail

Exactly. I can understand it’s a small division within DHS, but I’ve seen very, very few on at any given time. In my 60-70 or so patrol logs I have, maybe 5-10 have an IO that was on. Hell, I’ve seen Fed on IO more than others in that division.

Sometimes it can when your taking the video and cross referencing it with the law AND talking to a lawyer if you don’t know.

This lack of activity with IO is why departments should be taught a basic interrogation course (Optional) so they can do interrogations without having to get IO.

in firestone’s situation, yes IO should be an exclusive and highly trained unit on interrogation. SCSO and FSP are first response units while IO are there to provide a more extensive interrogation process. SCSO and FSP at most should know how to mirandize and ask simple questions before an interview.

chris you’re a whole lot more legally knowledgeable than most SCSO or FSP,

Agreed. I feel like it would boost confidence in a lot of officers who could then start interrogating/questioning their own suspects, and we may actually go further in fighting crime.

I will 100% support this if LEOs get a little more leniency on it, and not “hey, FUCK YOU, you have 10 minutes of detainment no matter what, go fuck yourself”

Okay, most v2 crimes last like no more than 15 minutes so your saying make criminals serve up to 40 minutes of punishment for a 15 minute crime?

It would be cool if your arrest time started once you were put in cuffs. So if you helped LEO’s with something then your sentence would be nothing since you served your sentence with IO.

My final opinion is yes, scso and fsp should know how to ‘interrogate’ but this isn’t getting gang members and collecting information or piecing together evidence at a bank robbery. IO is there to assist in a prosecution standpoint and when scso and fsp may not understand legal statutes relating to criminal prosecution.

I mean we already do that… it may also help to take your 40 minutes and times it by like 2-4 times for certain 15 minute crimes…
(in the past it could be up to 36 times)

Patrol Units 15 minute limit dont mean shit, its a possibility to get hours in DOC, so a 30 minute detainment is not cruel, and hence not a violation of the BOR

max time after being criminally prosecuted is multiple hours. A criminal does not spend that time being detained in a car, however when they’re being arrested by a patrol unit they are detained right then and there for however long it takes the officer
