Best Answer

Anytime an officer fires his weapon there is an investigation, usually by another division or department.

Until the shooting has been investigated the officer is removed from duty whether or not any wrongdoing is suspected. This serves to remove the officer from the stress of the job, insulates the investigators from unintentional or intentional pressure from the officer, and allows the officer time to deal with the internal consequences of the shooting. Because shooting is the 'last resort' the officer had to be in a seriously dangerous situation before he fired. That type of situation always needs time to resolve itself in the mind.
