NOTICE OF COMPLAINT
October 21, 2022
ICMS #: 2022-0956
On October 21, 2022, the OPO received a phone complaint.
The complainant alleges: There were 2 officers, one black, one white, arresting an old
guy who was handcuffed and just standing there. There was nothing else going on. The
complainant was wondering if he could leave his car overnight, SO he said to the white
officer from 10 feet away, "Excuse me sir. " The officer went ballistic, putting
his
hands
in the air like he was going to take the complainant down or arrest him. The officer was
screaming, "Get back! Get back! Get back!" The complainant was scared. He has had only
polite professional police encounters in the past and states this officer was frightening,
rude, and unprofessional.
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.
