Complaint: Complainant,
filed a complaint alleging the following:
"On
I was interviewed by Fox 7 news about an initiative to repeal
chapter 143. I talked about gathering signatures for our petition to bring oversight to the
police department. On
h around
I came home from the grocery
store and found 2 cop cars around my house. One just behind my house, that I passed on
the way home and one sitting in front about one house down from me. While this could be
a
total coincidence I feel like it is important to mention. In the year that I have lived in this
house I have never seen cops parked in my area. Ever. The car out front left about 5 minutes
after I arrived home, not sure about the car in back."
This notice of formal complaint is a request for Internal Affairs to initiate an investigation in
order to determine if the employee conduct is within compliance of APD policy, Civil Service
