James: Use of alternate ID to enter gay-friendly spa doesn't matter

It doesn't appear as if any PIU case on those 2 guys ever went to the Commonwealth Attorney.

LMPD's policy of closing all PSU investigations after someone resigns isn't what's called for by the US Department of Justice's Standards and Guidelines for Internal Affairs. Sometimes it might be reasonable to close a case and sometimes not.

3.15 Post-resignation investigations: Even if an employee resigns, consideration should be given to investigating the complaint as if the employee were still employed.

Commentary: The decision to complete the investigation of a complaint against an employee who has resigned is complex. The decision includes, but is not limited to, resources, local employment ordinances, interagency cooperation, agency self-critical analysis, and public confidence. Because agencies often hire each other's personnel, a potential employer may end up hiring a bad employee for want of good information in the candidate's prior agency file. If an employee were to resign in lieu of termination and seek employment elsewhere, the agency he seeks to get hired by may not be able to determine his worthiness for hire if the agency he left did not finish the complaint investigation. If the practice of not completing investigations were widespread, agencies would find it more difficult to reject questionable prior-service applicants.
