NOTICE OF COMPLAINT
March 17, 2023
ICMS #: 2023-0216
On March 16, 2023, the OPO received a phone complaint.
The complainant alleges: Police took her phone & ID and didn't give it back. she wants
to know why they took her phone and what they did with the information on it. They didn't
tell her they were taking her things and didn't give her a report number or a name. She
found out where her phone was but doesn't know where her security ID is. She talked to
evidence; they don't know where it is and said they are going to wait and see if it shows
up. The police said it was a traffic stop but they didn't pull them over until they were within
the gate of her apartment complex and the police car was unmarked. She complains that
APD did not have a real reason to stop her car. The complainant requested to speak with a
sergeant during complaint intake.
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.
