NYPD Act A-02 is the Suspension Reform Act 0f 2016
IA=Internal Affairs
Act A-02 was created to give more structure to the way suspensions work in NYPD.
Part 1- The Internal Affairs Division has the authority to suspend anyone as they see fit. Internal Affairs has the authority to unsuspend an alter the duration of suspensions.
Part 2- If an officer believes he/she was suspended falsely the officer must PM an Internal Affairs agent. IA will then launch an investigation as to see if the suspension was valid. IA will follow up on every private message they receive.
Part 3- Internal Affairs has the right to investigate anyone regardless of rank.
Part 4- Every officer has the right to press charges against a high rank. The high rank then must appear for a court case which is overseen by IA. If found guilty, IA will come up with an appropriate punishment for the high rank in question.
