19 • The assigned supervisor reviewed the dispatch records and related reports. He found that there had been a 911 call from a woman who lived in the apartment next to RP’s; she had complained that there was an ongoing and active dispute in that apartment. • Upon their arrival, officers noted a significant amount of blood in the entryway. Repeated knocks and announcements were not answered. Officers then entered the residence. • The supervisor made several attempts to contact the RP but was unsuccessful. • Classification: Policy Complaint Issues for the CRB: Most members could see the clear example of the Community Caretaking Act being used effectively. One member would have liked to see the officer investigate further to ensure the woman was safe, even though she denied any physical altercation. Complaint 5: RP called the Auditor’s Office to complain about how he was treated during a call to his home. He stated that they laughed at him when he had a seizure and were confrontational with him. • The assigned supervisor reviewed in-car video and found that officers had not acted in the way described and had not violated policy. • The supervisor made several attempts to contact the reporting party but was unsuccessful. • Classification: Inquiry Issues for the CRB: Members commented on the value of In-Car-Video in this case as the supervisor was able to see that the officer’s actions were not as described by RP. Another member noted the mental health aspect of the situation and how the RP did not realize what officers and medics had done to help him. E. June Case Review RP called 911 and complained that someone was remaining on her property after she had asked him to leave. The call-taker stayed on the line until the person had reportedly left. RP stated that she would call back if he returned. September 24, 2018, Work Session – Item 2
