NOTICE OF COMPLAINT
February 24, 2023
ICMS #: 2023-0155
On February 22, 2023, the OPO received a phone complaint.
The complainant alleges: He was involved in a hit-and-run accident, and he has had a
problem with APD doing an investigation. His car was left parked in front of a couple of
houses for
months while he waited for a response from the
investigator/detective that was assigned to his case. He has never received any information
or calls from APD. He did have a witness that had information on the car that hit his
vehicle. His daughter filed a police report. While waiting to hear from APD his car was
moved to the opposite side of the street. There are two houses on the other side of the street
where his car was parked, but no driveways.
someone called a tow truck, and
his car was towed. Usually, there is a sticker placed on vehicles as a warning but that never
happened. The APD detective has never reached out to the complainant or provided him
information about the person who hit his car.
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.
