My ex works for the district attorney's office. I work for a school district. She sent copies of when she had me arrested to the admistrative office, board members etc. saying that I hadn't told them about the arrest. I had informed them of the situation, but I feel that she was doing it to try and get me fired. This was all because our son wanted to come and live with me and not her.

Wow.. that's pretty bad because you would file these through the District Attorneys office. I suggest you get legal council quickly for this and ask for it to be moved to the next county over because this will end up being a major conflict of interest because of where your wife works. Good luck to you. As for her sending those over, she had no right unless you where convicted, Arrest papers mean nothing unless there is a conviction.
Side note: This would be considered for the most part a domestic issues so I am not sure the police would be of much help since they do not do much in the way of domestic issues of this type. Slander and Defamation of Character are usually cases you file by yourself or through an attorney with the District Attorneys office.

I hope you've banked every dime you didn't pay in rent to put toward your new place. Nonpayment of rent (for whatever reason) is the easiest way to get someone evicted. Now, if your dwelling is really unsafe, you should've called in the Code Enforcement Officers, separate and apart from the police department. If it's truly an unsafe dwelling, she will be fined like crazy and forced to do the repairs. Meanwhile, you have been given a very generous amount of time to get out. If you have saved all of the money from rent, why haven't you secured another apartment? Surely you've saved enough for a deposit? You could go ahead and sign disorderly persons complaints against her for filing false police reports and possible harassment, but it's going to turn into she said/she said/you look like you've got sour grapes because you're being evicted. Her son is in a horrible position because you want him to talk to his mother as a son and not as a cop. I'm sure he's not thrilled if his mother is a nut and lives in the town he works in. If you are going to move away from the town you're living in, court can be an inconvenience for you and you'll probably have to cart your daughter back and forth for court dates unless you secure child care. If you plan on staying in town, do you really need an enemy and an ongoing court case? Either way, you do have a right to see the police reports *BUT* there is a procedure to go about it. The receptionist was correct in what she said. You might need some proper forms from them to fill out as a request to get the information and they also might charge you a fee (like a dollar or two per page).... Do you really want to pursue this? Is it worth it? What would you get out of it besides more aggravation? I'd have to say that if you were a friend of mine, I'd say, New Year, clean slate, pack as much as you can after Christmas, and just go a/s/a/p. If I knew I was on borrowed time in an apartment, I'd worry more about packing and getting out than seeking retribution on a crazy landlady. You have to pick your battles, and you've got more important things in your life, like your child. But it's up to you. You do have some rights, and whether the department is corrupt or not, it really doesn't matter. You also have to take into consideration that you're living in a place rent-free, which means she's losing money and in this economy, loss of income hurts, which might also have something to do with her vindictiveness toward you. You can sign cross-complaints, you can follow up, but know that no matter what, it's going to be stressful. Good luck to you.

You can file for intentional defamation of character as opposed to harassment. File papers the same way you would for anyone else, just because they work for the state, they shouldnt have any extra "protection" from the law. Shouldnt being the key word here.

Through the police, I would guess.
