The names used by internal affairs divisions vary between agencies and jurisdictions; for example, they may be known as the internal investigations division (usually referred to as IID), professional standards or responsibility, inspector general, inspector or inspectorate general, internal review board, or similar. Due to the sensitive nature of this responsibility, in many departments, officers employed in an internal affairs unit are not in a detective command but report directly to the head of internal affairs who themselves typically report directly to the head of the parent agency, or to a board of civilian commissioners. Internal affairs investigators are generally bound ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Action Comedy Film
The action comedy is a film genre that applies to action films where humor plays a much more central role. While early films feature stuntwork and humor, academic Cynthia King wrote that the genre only came into its own as a mainstay of the American action film genre in the 1980s when actors who had backgrounds in comedy such as Eddie Murphy began taking roles in action films. The genre approaches various narratives and styles such as buddy films, superhero films, and Hong Kong action cinema featuring various actors such as Jackie Chan. Action comedy has also been a recurring theme in television, with series such as '' The Dukes of Hazzard'' (1979–1985) and '' Peacemaker'' (2022).
