Hello,

I just wanted to clarify one item. In #2 of my request, I asked about complaints by "peer" officers. Some departments call this an "internal complaint". Is it true that there have been zero internal complaints in the Antioch CA PD annually for the past ten years?

Respectfully,
Alex Cartwright

Hello,

Regarding clarification of #2 of my request,
I am wondering about complaints made from any department personal against any other department personnel.

Respectfully, -Alex Cartwright

From: Antioch California Police Department

Good morning,

After speaking with our Internal Affairs Department, I was able to determin that we did not have any complaints made by department personnel against any other department personnel.
