The
Review Process |
|
|
| |
If
your letter falls within our authority, it will be reviewed.
In most cases, the review process is as follows: |
|
|
| |
- Your
letter is assigned to an investigator. This investigator
determines whether there are additional letters
either on the same subject or from the same correspondent.
- Your
letter and any relevant prior correspondence are
then forwarded to a Deputy Attorney General for
a preliminary review. Depending on the nature of
the inquiry, the assigned Deputy Attorney General
may request additional information from the appropriate
County Prosecutor's Office or local law enforcement
authorities.
- In
most cases, this preliminary review is limited to
analyzing what has already occurred. No testimony
is taken and separate investigations are not conducted
in most cases.
- Once
the preliminary review is completed, there is another
review conducted by a committee of several Deputy
Attorneys General and their supervisors. A final
decision is reached at this time. Correspondents
are notified of the outcome of the review by mail.
There is no appeal from this decision.
