*The U.S. Census Bureau asks persons to mark the “race or races with which they most
closely identify.”[ Ethnicity distinguishes between those who report ancestral origins in Spain or Hispanic America (Hispanic and Latino Americans), and those who do not
(Non-Hispanic Americans). Hispanics or Latinos may be of any race, so also are included in applicable race category.

Allegations
Complaint #15-02
1. Unprofessional Behavior – Rudeness and Harassment – NOT SUSTAINED
2. Differential Treatment – Violation of Civil Rights – NOT SUSTAINED
3. False Reports – NOT SUSTAINED
Complaint #15-03 – SUMMARILY DISMISSED
Complaint #16-01 – SUMMARILY DISMISSED
Complaint #16-02
1. Questionable interview and Interrogation tactics – SUSTAINED
2. Unlawful Seizure of the Complainant’s cell phone – SUSTAINED
Of the five allegations listed in the two complaints for which the Board reported,
two were sustained.
The Board made comments and/or recommendations for improvement in police
policy, procedures, or conduct in two of the reports:
Complaint #15-02 – The complete video and audio record alone clearly refutes
all of the allegations of misconduct as baseless. In fact, after extensive audio and
video review during this investigation, the Complainant agreed the officer did not
commit the violations that were alleged.
Complaint #16-02 – If an interpreter was needed when the Complainant met
with the investigator from Internal Affairs, someone other than one of the officers
named in the complaint should have been used.
Community Police Review Board

reports were completed during this fiscal period (15-02, 16-02). Two complaints were summarily dismissed (15-03, 16-01) and
two complaints filed in FY16 are pending before the Board (16-03, 16-04).
