GOOGLE TIME....LOL....
I can tell by the meeting minutes that this tit for tat at the meeting entailed a Ms. Brennan.
Turns out this woman wants to file a complaint on an officer and felt INTIMIDATED in doing so. Hmmm.
http://www.stjohnin.com/opencms/export/ ... INUTES.pdf Ms. Janet Brennan, of 10151 Delmar Street, St. John, Indiana, advised she was present tonight
in order to ask for guidance on where she can get information on filing a complaint against an
officer. Ms. Brennan stated she spoke with Chief Frego over the weekend, and she was in the
police station today speaking to the Commander (Chapranda) about the matter. She stated she
felt like she was being dissuaded because it was pointed out to her that the officer could sue
her if her complaint was not termed properly. She stated she was looking for statute guidance
or information as to what are viable terms that can be used in filing a complaint. Commissioner
Dodaro advised Ms. Brennan she needed to go to the police station and complete the
appropriate form at the police station. Ms. Brennan stated she was at the police station today
and saw the appropriate form, but she was wanting the guidelines for what the complaints can
be based on, because in meeting with the Commander today at the police station, that is where
she felt dissuaded, and even intimidated, to not file a complaint. Again, Commissioner Dodaro
advised Ms. Brennan to put her complaint in writing on the official complaint form, and then the
complaint will be investigated. Ms. Brennan then asked if there was a specific statute that she
could look up that shows what is considered a valid complaint regarding abuse of power or
misuse of position. Ms. Brennan stated she would like to look at the viable options before she
filled out the official complaint form to make sure that what she is saying conforms to what it is.
Much discussion ensued. Ms. Brennan stated she would keep looking for information regarding
how to file a complaint.
