NOTICE OF COMPLAINT
February 17, 2023
ICMS #: 2023-0127
On February 13, 2023, the OPO received an online complaint.
The complainant alleges: Every time I call police for my area they can never do anything
to help. Having an attitude with a person like myself who has mental diagnosis I don't need
to be treated like I'm a nobody. I walked over to my neighbors and I got verbally attached
my a black male 50"s who does not reside in the complex. The officer tells me it's an apt
complex and he can't do anything to help me. When I've already witnessed this man pull a
knife out and try and stab someone. He walks around all day and rides a bike blasting his
music and disturbing our peace. I have a video of him trying to jump towards me verbally
attacking me. I know this man carries drugs and weapons all the time. I could walk out my
apt tomorrow and get killed I'll just be another person on the news. Last time officers got
called out here and couldn't do anything to help me. A big fight broke out and APD has the
video the cops were called out within 48 hours from the first time I called. I just don't
understand how we have Police officers we call to help us and they can't ever do anything.
What city council representative do I reach out to about this. Even when I asked for his
name and badge # he got an even more attitude and tried to rush me. Officer
