Resident tells council an officer threatened his life; he says internal affairs hasn't followed up
Summary
During Community Voices, Joseph Holt said a police officer threatened to kill him in July and that internal affairs, the police chief and the mayor's office had not contacted him; he asked the council to note the record and urged follow-up.
At the Dec. 2 council meeting, Joseph Holt used the Community Voices time to repeat that he filed an internal affairs complaint in July alleging a police officer threatened to kill him and that he had not received follow-up from internal affairs, the police chief or the mayor's office.
Holt told the council he filed complaints July 3 and July 7 and that he had provided emails and documentation but had not been contacted. He said he came to the council meeting so the matter would be on the public record and suggested the council's public safety advisory committee could be a forum for follow-up.
Council leadership acknowledged receipt of community concerns and said administrative offices had been notified; the council encouraged Mr. Holt to use available complaint and advisory channels and said staff would work to ensure the matter was logged for follow-up.
