Complaint: The Office of Police Oversight received an anonymous online complaint alleging
the following:
"My wife and I reside a few houses down from
and it's a normal every day
occurrence that we hear loud arguing and fighting coming from the residence. We know
an officer lives there and we're just concerned. It's a quiet neighborhood, but there seems
to be something going on over there, yelling, doors slamming, cars in and out the drive
way, it's mostly at night."

the Department to use early prevention strategies in order to avoid or minimize the occurrence
and effects of domestic violence.

The rules of conduct set forth in this order do not serve as an all-inclusive list of requirements,
