NOTICE OF COMPLAINT
November 23, 2022
ICMS #: 2022-1066
On November 23, 2022, the OPO received a phone complaint.
The complainant alleges: He was in a car accident and Officer
badge
responded. It was a very clear violation that the person made, to the point that his insurance
company closed it after speaking to him. The person basically pulled out in front of him,
and he hit them, and the officer did not issue a ticket. The officer did not inspect the card
or ask any follow of questions before deciding that he was going to put no one at fault or
do anything about it. When he questioned the actions of Officer
he got very upset,
saying things like, "I wasn't there at the time. How could I know what happened?" which
is funny because if he is saying he did not know what happened how could he make a
decision about what didn't happen? The officer did decide to issue the other driver a ticket
(case #
) for having no insurance. He has no idea why this officer is on the force.
He was not useful and did not make him feel safe. Officer
was very combative with
him in a very high-stress situation and made it unnecessarily unsafe for everyone that was
there.
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.
