Complaint: The complainant alleges: "Good morning, I want to make a formal complaint about
my neighbor who lives above me. He is a cadet that wants to be a K9 officer. He has a German
Shepard that is very dangerous to humans and animals. He has disrespected my 75-year-old
mother by making the dog run and bark all day while I am working. We have spoken to him and
the office of the apartments numerous times with no solution. The last thing Austin needs is
another kid police officer that has no respect for the elderly or misfortune. He thinks because his
father retired as a
police officer that he will have special privileges.
I can see only bad things happening with this kid on the police force. If you can not respect your
neighbor you can not protect your neighbor.
I was told not to use names SO you can run his tag.
This is becoming a hostel environment for me and my mother."
This notice of formal 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.
