In the disciplinary process, what is the first step involving the Complaint Analyst?

The first step in the disciplinary process involving the Complaint Analyst is to assess the complaint for legal sufficiency. This initial evaluation is crucial as it establishes whether the complaint meets the specific legal standards required for further action. By doing so, the Complaint Analyst determines if there are valid grounds to proceed with the case. This step ensures that only complaints that possess a legal basis are advanced through the disciplinary process, effectively filtering out any that may be unfounded or do not meet the statutory criteria.

In subsequent steps, if the complaint is deemed legally sufficient, further actions could include conducting a formal investigation, but this cannot occur until the initial assessment has been completed affirmatively.
