Can victims contact enforcement agencies instead of Internal Affairs?

Victims have the right to contact enforcement agencies directly regarding their concerns, which includes reaching out to external law enforcement entities instead of solely through Internal Affairs. This option allows victims to report incidents or seek assistance from other law enforcement agencies if they feel it is necessary.

This flexibility ensures that victims are not limited in their pursuit of justice or recourse, as they can choose to engage with any enforcement agency that they believe can address their issues effectively. It recognizes the importance of victim autonomy and the seriousness of their concerns, ensuring they have multiple avenues for reporting and support.

In contrast, other options suggest more restrictive measures that do not acknowledge the victims' rights to choose how and where to report their experiences. This highlights the importance of empowering victims within the law enforcement process.
