NOTICE OF COMPLAINT
November 4, 2022
ICMS #: 2022-1004
On November 3, 2022, the OPO received a phone complaint.
The complainant alleges: He has a child custody order out of
County and for
the past two years he has had to call APD every two weeks because the mother is not
following the order. He made a report on
and he is just now getting a call back from
APD. Officer
badge #
questioned why he was calling, and he explained he
has to because his child's mother is not following the court child custody court order.
Every two weeks it is the same thing over and over and it always takes two or three weeks
for APD to call him back. When he requested the updating of his incident reports, Officer
stated something like, APD has been defunded and if he has an issue, he has to
take it up with the City Council. Officer
questioned why he has not taken the
mother to court. The complainant explained he does not have $10,000 lying around for
court fees. Officer
stated she was sorry he was going through this, but if it was
her, she would have figured something out by now. He felt what she said was an insult
and very 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.
