The Internal Affairs Division conducts investigations in the following instances:

  • When an allegation or complaint of misconduct is made against an employee of the department;
  • Whenever a vehicular pursuit occurs;
  • Suicides or death that occur while in the custody of this agency or suicides involving department employees with special emphasis on events leading to the incident

If the citizens of Gotham are to have the trust and confidence in the police, the Gotham Police Department must to foster a good relationship with its citizenry. This means someone must take the responsibility of policing the police.

Police officers face situations calling for immediate assessment and swift action, and must be free to exercise their best judgment and to initiate action in a reasonable, lawful, and impartial manner without fear of reprisal. At the same time, they must observe the rights of all people. Citizens must feel free to question police conduct which they feel is improper.

The Internal Affairs Division of the Gotham Police Department is a spotlight, charged with illuminating the actions of officers in the investigation of accusations of wrongdoing. In this capacity it protects the public, and also the police. By investigating accusations the Internal Affairs Department can be counted on to reveal malfeasance but also protect police officers from malicious accusations that otherwise would taint reputations and eventually limit the effectiveness of police officers.

The featured "officer of the month" is Glenn Barhyte:

Glenn Barhyte in the spotlight.

Glenn joined the force fourteen years ago and has shown an exemplary work ethic. He was born in Gotham, but his father was an engineering professor, so from the time he was five until he was fourteen, he and his parents lived in Utrecht. His family returned to Gotham and he has spent the rest of his life here, leaving only to attend Northeastern where he received a degree in criminal justice.

Glenn has a wife, Cecilia, and a Golden Retriever named Burt.


Barhyte facts:

December 1 - (A Zshare mp3 file of the 2 minutes when the conversation starts up in the pie shop)

[footsteps approach]


[Man 1] You order?

[Man 2] Just coffee for both of us. Nobody eats here.

[Man 1] Flass did.

[both chuckle]

[Man 2] Yeah, Flass would eat off a train floor.

[Man 1] I heard he's lost a lot of weight.

[Man 2] What'd you expect, the guy's a vegetable.

[Woman 1] Your coffee, you want anything with that?

[Man 1] Hey Betty, just the special.

[Woman 1] You don't want pie or nothin'?

[Man 2] Ah, no thanks. The missus made three pies for the Thanksgiving. I'm all pie'd out.

[Woman 2] So is it just coffee? What am I, some kind of barista or somethin'?

[Man 1] Hey, I promise, we'll tip good.

[Woman 1] Half of my tables just drinking coffee. Stupid Italians. Now, Mr. Falcone, he liked a piece of pie. Special for the check.

[Man 2] She charged us for the coffee. Well you know we gotta pay here - there'll be a drop point... Look at this, will ya? Two bucks for coffee.


[Man 3] It's okay guys, coffee's on the department this time. (hushed and serious) Internal Affairs, hands on the table. I'll take your side arms and we'll all go downtown.

[Man ?] Internal Affairs?

[Man 3] Keep your voices down. Hands on the table.

[commotion in background. Gunshots fired]


[Man ?] Get down, get down!

[Man 4] Fire, we got fire. Backup, we need backup.

[Man 5] Oh, God, Karl!

[Man 4] Officer down.

[gunshots] [bullets ricochet][shuddering and panting can be heard]

[Man 5] ...couldn't stay up in the parking lot. You had to arrest us in the middle of a restaurant?! Who do - who do you think eats here?! Boy Scouts?! Just who the hell do you think eats here?! Jesus Christ! Karl!

[Man 4] 2361, I need backup. 1445 Maloney.
