NOTICE OF COMPLAINT
October 7, 2022
ICMS #: 2022-0896
On October 6, 2022, the OPO received a phone complaint.
The complainant alleges: She has been trying to file a missing person report for her son
since
The complainant lives in
and her son lives in Austin.
Complainant called 911 and waited for APD for 5 hours at her son's home on
and no
one responded. She had to leave to pick up her other child. She found out APD responded
at
that evening. While she was on the phone with 311, she got a call and clicked over
but she missed the call. Basically, she was told she has to wait at his address until APD
responds. She is back today
waiting. It should not take days to file a missing
person's report because this is an emergency, and she does not understand why it is not
being treated as such.
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.
