in which the Officer had to confront a patient who grabbed a medical shears. According to her report the situation occurred at 2316 hrs. the patient was escorted to ED, room #36 at 2322 hrs. The Officer later on radioed Dispatch for (51S) and stated that No additional Officers needed. Between 2316 hrs. and 2322 hrs.
she never once called for a stat call or bothered relay the information to Dispatch, instead she choose to call a (51S) and added no additional Officers needed. I believe her behavior is alarming and very disturbing. Sir be advised that on Wednesday 10/26/16 I held a meeting in which I discussed to the Team, the need to call for backup whenever the situation is required, whenever facing a situation with patient, family members and visitors who seem to be angry, aggressive. I took an example of the situation that occurred recently where the father of a patient was irate and cursing at Security staff, the Officer did not call it over the radio, instead sent an email. I instructed all team members (Omar and Ariel) to abide by that rule and to write reports for all encounters. As a matter fact, Officer Paz was also present at that meeting. I find it very Odd that Officer Ariel ignored my directives and furthermore lied on her report about the event and dismissed my questions when I attempted to get more info about what occurred. Sir, upon further investigation, I spoke with Dispatcher Carolyn (312), she stated that Ariel called dispatch to report a 51S exactly at 2323 hours on her report she stated that she called Dispatch at 2308
hours. When I confronted her, she was very disrespectful and denied the fact, when she radioed Dispatch she stated that and I quoted: “No additional Officers needed”, the dispatcher asked her to repeat her transmission, she repeated the same info over the radio. I found it very disturbing that Officer Ariel decided to alter her report, changing the time frame and also took the time to research and send a video. Sir, this is not the first time, she has ignored my directives and undermine my leadership, I can recall the situation in which I asked her to relieve an Officer for meal break and she dismissed my instructions and told the Officer that she would not relieve her. At this point of time Sir, with all due respect I no longer feel safe working with her because I do not trust her. I have tried multiple times to maintain a good relationship with my fellow Officers but at this time I feel that her disrespect behaviors have crossed the line. I’m sorry for bringing such matter to you but I am at my last straw. Hope we can resolve this situation by discussion some options I’d like to share. Thanks for understanding and the attention given to this urgent matter.
Have a bless day and enjoy your weekend.
