Received at meeting of: (-/(¢ <br />Date: ',~-/~ '~L~L~/ <br /> <br />Item No.: <br /> <br />17 March 2004 <br /> <br />email to: Honorable Chief Russ Leach <br /> Riverside Police Department <br /> City of Riverside <br /> <br />from: Thomas Scott <br /> 636 Sandalwood Ct, Riverside CA 92507 <br /> <br />I am sorry to bring this to your attention, and hope that it can be resolved without <br />escalation. On March 11, two of our city police officers were involved in a civil <br />dispute. I do not know why they were called to this situation, but their <br />intervention was part of chain of mistakes with the potential to spiral out of hand. <br />would like to prevent this, not just for my neighborhood and the city; my son was <br />involved as an observer, and I want your help to show him that our police are <br />honorable men who can be trusted. <br /> <br />The events may seem trivial at the onset, but they progressed in a manner that is <br />out of context to the relationship our community has had with for so many years <br />with your department. My wife, Beth Braker and I used to be a part of a <br />community-based police program. I don't think that this would have happened if <br />we had maintained the contact program, started with Officer Wally Rice in the <br />1990s. Perhaps this lapse of contact has been the ultimate mistake. <br /> <br /> <br />
