Police internal affairs: 29 complaints under review, department reports zero use‑of‑force complaints in 2025 to date
Summary
During the presentation, Speaker 7 reported 29 citizen complaints investigated or under investigation with about five sustained and 20 exonerated; the speaker said there were zero use‑of‑force complaints to date in 2025 (prior year: eight, which were exonerated).
Speaker 7 presented internal affairs statistics for the police department, saying the department had '29 citizen complaints that have been investigated or being investigated' and providing a breakdown: approximately 5 sustained, 1 incomplete, 2 unfounded, 1 referred, and 20 exonerated. Speaker 7 also stated that, to date in 2025, 'we have 0 use of force complaints' and noted last year had eight such complaints that were exonerated, with seven cleared by video evidence.
Speaker 7 placed those figures in context against overall call volume, reporting roughly '54,750 calls for service' at the time of the presentation and calculating a citizen complaint rate 'about 1 complaint for about every 10,095 calls for service.' The presenter credited body‑worn cameras with speeding resolution of complaints and said most complaints are resolved within a day or two because of video evidence.
Council members asked clarifying questions about the complaint process and resolution categories; no formal disciplinary outcomes beyond the 'sustained' count were described in the transcript. The presentation did not include references to specific cases or personnel beyond aggregate counts.
