NOTICE OF COMPLAINT
June 16, 2022
ICMS #: 2022-0515
On June 15, 2022, the OPO received a phone complaint.
The complainant alleges: She has concerns about APD's actions while responding to a
false allegation incident with an elderly family member. About 16 cars responded to the
call. The individual did not own a weapon nor were there weapons on the property. An
patient living in the home made the call to APD. The agency (
) deceived
the elderly woman claiming the person would only be in the home for 3 weeks, but it turned
into 6 months. The individual made a direct threat to the elderly woman when she addressed
an issue and APD did not do anything. The officers came in with an attitude toward the
elderly woman as she was explaining that the person was not telling the truth. APD told
her in an aggressive tone to shut up and go back to her room. APD showed no respect and
inflicted stress in the elderly woman's life. APD did not help her when she received direct
threats from the individual that was living with her
This notice of complaint is a request for Internal Affairs to initiate an investigation to
determine if the employee conduct is within compliance of APD policy, Civil Service
Rules, and Municipal Civil Service Rules.
