Unfounded is the finding that the allegation did not occur or there is no evidence to support it. In an internal investigation, this disposition means, after review, there isn’t a factual basis to believe the claim is true. It’s different from exonerated, which means the act occurred but was within policy or proper conduct; not sustained, which indicates insufficient evidence to prove or disprove the allegation; and sustained, which shows there is enough evidence to prove the misconduct occurred. An unfounded finding effectively closes the case with the conclusion that the complaint is false or unsupported by the facts.
