NOTICE OF COMPLAINT
December 9, 2022
ICMS #: 2022-1108
On December 6, 2022, the OPO received a phone complaint.
The complainant alleges: There have been gunshots in his area for some time and each
time he has called 911. When APD responds they just basically do a drive around and he
gets really frustrated because he does not think APD has ever gone to the address he calls
about. It has been going on for years. He filed a report with a federal agency because it
seems like APD is not willing or able to do anything and he is very frustrated with APD.
He knows there are funding issues, but this is really ridiculous. There have been times
when his daughter has been in the backyard when shots are fired, and it scares her. It scares
him. It has been going on SO often and for SO long (for years) he is wondering if there is
some kind of illegal gun business. He has seen multiple people at the address, women, and
children. He does not know if there is some kind of illegal transfer of people. He has heard
the people that live there are from Honduras. If APD is not able to do anything until
someone gets shot or seriously injured, he will just have to deal with that but he's not going
to stop complaining until something gets done.
he filed a complaint with
the city about the construction going on day and night in the backyard. The residents at
the address have built several structures in their backyard and surrounded the structures
with curtains SO you are not able to see in the backyard. Someone from the city did come
out and some of the structures were torn down, but the gunshots still continue at all times
of the day and night.
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.
