NOTICE OF COMPLAINT
April 1, 2022
ICMS #: 2022-0231
On March 29, 2022, the OPO received an online complaint.
The complainant alleges: To who it may concern: Sargent
badge number
came
into my establishment
and found a wallet in my lobby, when we asked for it she
stated she was going to turn it in. I have been in the restaurant and bar industry for 24 years and
every time someone leaves something in my establishment I have returned it to the guest because
the guest was here at my place of business. Sargeant
insisted she is a cop and will turn it
into the city and file a report. That makes no sense to me because it is my responsibility, I do not
understand why she is flexing that she is a cop, we see your badge, we know you are a cop but that
wallet was one of my customers, he did not go into the police station. Sargeant
was in
my place of business, she should have let me do my job that I have been doing for 24 years. She
did not have to take that wallet out of my restaurant and she did not have to file a report. I do not
understand what her ego trip is about. Can you please let her superior know and have him reach
out to me?
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.
