NOTICE OF FORMAL COMPLAINT handed us. The supervisor of Officers and showed up shortly after. The supervisor was extremely cordial and respectful as we discussed the events that had transpired. He was understanding of how dangerous it is when bikes are not properly parked before dismount and was informed that Officer had made it more difficult for myself to comply with his request. There were several other officers on scene who were all fine upstanding lawmen in terms of their interactions with myself and their conduct. The supervisor was informed that Officer had used excessive force and was extremely rude, confrontational, and poor at using deescalation techniques to properly assess the situation. The supervisor was also informed that officer had never given either rider signal that the car represented a direction of impasse. I was informed by him that he would be reviewing the body camera footage to discover the facts and overall conduct. I am writing in nsure that a formal r conducted not merely because I feel the office ong in how they approached the situation. This effort is aimed at encouragi g officers receive the reprimand and training they need to conduct proper community relations through protocol instead of escalating minor traffic misunderstandings into major mishandled fiascoes. I felt I was accosted instead of protected by officers unwilling to listen to reason and were interested in reprimand than producing beneficial results for peacekeeping. I would appreciate a follow up response and hope that situations like this can be handled better in the future.” 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 complia f APD policy, Civil Service Rules, and Municipal Civil Service Rules.
