We have no written policy outlining when and where a deputy may review the collected evidence used in their IA.
Yes, we do place the evidence on a thumb drive and allow the deputies to review it prior to their interview. We estimate how much review time it will take and make a decision on whether they can do it on their time. (BWC footage, witness interviews, phone data, etc.) We generally schedule their interview as soon as they are done reviewing.
I am not aware of any 112 violations that would come from this practice. We often tell the deputies representative that we are providing them with the thumb drive ahead of time.
