Commission receives Q4 report on police misconduct complaints; aggregate counts noted
Summary
Staff reported the department received three administrative complaints and no citizen complaints during Q4, and that open investigations included three citizen complaints and a total of five administrative complaints. The commission heard the aggregate data and closed the item.
Commander Charlie Kitsapas reported on the quarterly complaints data for Q4 2024. He said the department received three administrative complaints and zero citizen complaints during the period Oct. 1–Dec. 31, 2024. Separately, Kitsapas reported that at the time of the quarterly snapshot the department had three active and open citizen complaints and a total of five administrative complaints under review.
Kitsapas listed the policy categories under investigation during the quarter, including use of force, search and seizure, prohibited discriminatory conduct, discourteous or disrespectful treatment, failure to take responsible action while on duty, violations of criminal statute, nepotism, and conflicting relationships. The commander closed the report segment; the commission had no public comments or follow-up motions on the item at this meeting.
The spreadsheet-style summary in staff remarks combined incoming complaints for the quarter with a concurrent count of open investigations, which created the difference between “received this quarter” and “active/open” totals. The commander did not provide further detail on individual cases at this meeting.
