Who is responsible for investigating use of force incidents involving security officers and special police officers?

The Security Officers Management Branch (SOMB) is the designated authority responsible for investigating use of force incidents involving security officers and special police officers. This focuses on ensuring accountability and compliance with established policies and procedures relating to the conduct of security personnel. The SOMB's role encompasses oversight of security operations, monitoring incidents that involve the use of force, and ensuring that appropriate measures are taken to address any violations or concerns.

The other entities listed have different areas of focus. For example, the Internal Affairs Division (IAD) typically handles investigations related to misconduct by sworn police officers rather than security personnel. The Criminal Investigation Division (CID) is focused on criminal cases and investigations rather than administrative oversight of security practices. The Secretary of State generally handles administrative and legislative functions, making them unsuitable for direct involvement in investigations of use of force incidents in this context.
