SAO’s UDFI Audit Program reviews police use of deadly force investigations for compliance with state laws and rules designed to ensure law enforcement agencies conduct objective and independent investigations. UDFI auditors examine the actions of those involved in the immediate aftermath of the use of deadly force incident and with the ensuing investigation, including involved officers and witness officers and the investigation team.  Washington Administrative Code 139-12-030 outlines the process for independent investigations of police use of deadly force and the qualifications for investigators.
