Incident Inquiry and Misconduct Cases
Readiness training. Guarding.Tech does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
A supervisor's first inquiry secures the scene, the first accounts and the evidence. After that, someone has to decide what really happened and what should follow. That someone is often you. A good inquiry protects the organisation, the person who complained and the person accused. A bad one can punish an innocent person, let a guilty one go, spoil evidence the police need, and end in a court case the organisation loses.
Focus: decide the right route early, bring in HR and legal advice, treat a complaint as a claim to be tested, keep a clean case file, and keep fact-finding apart from the decision.
Learning objectives
- Decide when an internal inquiry is needed, and when a matter must go to the police, an internal committee or another body.

- Apply basic fairness: notice of the allegation, a chance to respond, an unbiased decision-maker.
- Run and record interviews without pressure, threats or promises.
- Explain why body-language "lie cues" are unreliable.
- Build and keep a case file and an evidence store.
- Write a factual inquiry report.
