Answer 2

Except for a couple of the last 12 replies, most of what you got was nonsense.

I was a Police Chief for ten years in a medium sized department. I did not have an Internal Affairs Section, I did have a three man "Police Commission".

These are some of the complaints I got:

"I saw your cop speeding!" Anonymous, of course. No officer's name, no date, no time, no location. There's nothing I can do with this. But the reporting person whines to his buddies that he reported a cop and nothing was done.

"Officer Jones takes bribes!" Anonymous, of course. No details about any incident; no names of the bribers, no dates, no times. Would you like to be accused of a criminal act when no evidence exists to support the charge?

I was once sent a set of pictures showing one of my officers exiting a liquor store, carrying a paper sack and sticking up out of the sack was the neck of a bottle of whiskey. The unsigned note with the pictures accused the officer of drinking on duty. Well, at least with the pictures, I could go find the officer. I showed him the pictures, explained the unsigned note, and he explained that the store had been burglarized. The detectives in the store found the bottle, which had been opened and drunk from, in the store. Thinking the thief had handled the bottle, the detective told the officer to take the bottle to the finger print lab for processing. The bottle was in the lab, properly signed in as evidence. I could not tell this to the person who complained, since he sent the accusation anonymously. So I'm sure he thinks we just covered everything up.

Do cops screw up and screw off on the job every now and then? Sure they do, God and his Saints are not applying for police jobs, so we are stuck with human beings.

If you are serious about reporting this officer for drinking on the job, at least do it properly. Note the date, time, and location of the incident(s). If you know the officer's name, then put it in your complaint. Write your complaint out and SIGN IT. If you can not work up the courage to sign it, at least make sure the details are correct and complete. If you want some feedback on the complaint you are going to have to sign it. Otherwise, do not expect to hear anything.

I wish you the best of luck as people like this give us all a bad name. The best suggestion I would have would be to make sure you KNOW this, if this is just some rumor you have heard then it is not well advised to get involved. Report it to someone high up the chain, or if a large enough department try to report directly to Internal Affairs division.

If you want to just make an easy anonymous report do not be surprised when nothing is done, still do it because its worth a try but anonymous reports generally do not go to far (even police officers have the constitutional right to face their accusers). Also a complaint in writing is much better than a phone call because it generally will be taken more seriously and you can retain a copy as proof or even pass it along to several people at once (police supervisor, city officials, media) Most departments have specific policy in regards to complaints against officers that include trying to get the complaint in writing and replying back, in writing, with the results of the investigation into the complaint within a set amount of time.

Answer 4

To the internal affairs division of the police dept.

Answer 5

Assuming it's alcohol, the desk sergeant should be informed if he/she is junior.

If it's a senior policeman, then the superintendent of his station should be informed.

If it's the superintendent, then the district attorney should be informed.

I doubt anything would happen, and you may even get harassed if you're unlucky. Good luck
