I'm always surprised to hear how little most officers understand how the process works. It is pretty shocking that even some veterans believe PSU makes the call as to when to charge officers. Some officers even believe PIU makes the call when in fact most of the time it is the County Attorney or the Commonwealth Attorney. PIU builds the case files and sends their findings over. That's why PIU never arrests officers "on the spot" when they legally could.
