When do administrative inquiries take place?

Administrative inquiries are conducted primarily for matters that involve true integrity concerns. This means that when there are serious issues regarding the honesty, ethics, or compliance with departmental policies and regulations, an administrative inquiry is necessary to investigate these matters thoroughly. Such inquiries ensure that the integrity of the department is upheld and that any allegations are appropriately addressed, even if they may not lead to a formal complaint.

The other possibilities, while they highlight scenarios that may prompt inquiries, do not fully encompass the primary focus of administrative inquiries. For example, complaints exceeding normal limits or not meeting statutory requirements might trigger certain investigations, but these do not specifically address concerns related to integrity. Additionally, the absence of a formal complaint does not negate the importance of investigating integrity issues that may arise within the department.
