Abstract

This chapter outlines twenty-two criteria for good internal investigations. The criteria include the competence, resilience, open-mindedness and independence of the investigator, and the investigation being well-planned, thorough and conducted under conditions under which information/evidence is secure and the rights of suspects and witnesses are respected. I also discuss the need for the judicious use of covert methods and the importance of best practice informant management.
