Examples Of Complaint

I, Sergeant D. M. Nguyen, employee number 129985, am currently assigned to the East Patrol Command, Northeast Division, Shift I. This correspondence is to address a complaint that will be filed on Officer T. Fletcher, employee number 130808, by the complainant, Mr. Joshua A. Berkery. The details are as follows:

On June 21, 2015 at approximately 0550 hours, I was notified by Sgt. C. L. Watson who is assigned as the roll call sergeant, that an off duty Houston Police Officer (HPD) working and extra job at the East Houston Regional Hospital, had contacted the Northeast station and advised him that a complainant on Officer T. Fletcher’s call, wanted to file a formal complaint on the officer for utilizing excessive force. I volunteered to follow-up on this incident and drove to the East Houston Regional Hospital located at 13111 East Freeway. Upon my arrival, I was approached by the off duty HPD officer, Officer J. Carpenter, employee number 137293, and he provided me with the information he had gathered from the complainant regarding how Officer Fletcher had assaulted him. I introduced myself to the complainant and provided him with a sworn affidavit packet; however, the complainant refused to sign the packet and requested to speak with Internal Affairs instead. The complaint provided me with a verbal statement and said Officer Fletcher body slammed him to the ground, forcefully handcuffed him and placed one of his knees on his chest. The complainant stated he
Landrum, who advised that an on-call IAD Lieutenant will be contacting me. Lt. Fauer from IAD called and advised me to direct the complainant to 1200 Travis since he had requested to speak with Internal Affairs. Lt. Fauer advised me to generate this cover letter, and also produce an issue record number for this event. I had notified my immediate supervisor, Lt. K. J. Deese of the incident and completed the Houston Police Department Issue Record
