Which of the following is NOT listed as a step in the Investigative Process?

• A. Review Complaint
• B. Interview all Witnesses
• C. Collect all Evidence
• D. Diversity

Answer: (D)

The Investigative Process is about the actions you take to gather facts and build a reliable picture of what happened. The main steps include reviewing the initial complaint to understand the issue, interviewing witnesses to gather firsthand accounts, and collecting all evidence—physical, digital, and documentary—to preserve materials that support the investigation. Diversity, while important as a principle to reduce bias and ensure fair consideration, isn’t a discrete procedural step in the investigation itself. It doesn’t describe an action you perform; rather, it relates to how teams or sources are approached. So the option that doesn’t fit as a listed step is Diversity.
