Section 1620.330  Opening an Investigation File

a)         Upon deciding to open an investigation file in accordance with Section 1620.300(c)(4)(B), the Executive Inspector General shall promptly create an investigation file and assign the file a unique tracking number.  Multiple case initiation forms that relate to the same alleged acts of misconduct may be consolidated for purposes of investigation.  In the absence of a completed case initiation form, the Executive Inspector General may create an investigation file and assign the file a unique tracking number if the Executive Inspector General reasonably believes that misconduct may have occurred within the Executive Inspector General's jurisdiction.  Investigations that have been closed and are reopened, involving the same alleged wrongdoing by at least one of the same persons who was the subject of the original complaint, shall be identified by the same tracking number as the initial investigation.  All time limits stated in this Part shall be applied from the date of the original complaint.

b)         The investigation file shall contain the case initiation form, or if none, so much of the information that would normally appear on the case initiation form as is known to the Executive Inspector General at the inception of the matter.
