Body Cam Request

Dear Sheriff Reaper,
I am requesting your body cam footage from your interaction with Battalion Chief Jack Hadfield due to a complaint filed.

-Colonel Rivard
San Andreas State Police

We have sent the footage over, on a small note, and good news we do have a new forum template you can use to request footage from us at SD Thank you.

After further review I have concluded two things based on the body cam footage I have received, without the chiefs footage I can only see one angle of the incident. First finding, the battalion chief was told to stay until the officers left. They were not given ample time(a minute or two) to clear. Due to this the officer then reacquired the stop and ordered the battalion chief out in which the chief did not feel he was required to do. The Police Chief was then too aggressive in how he handled the situation and damaged a city vehicle which did not need to happen. The battalion chief was then tased again which did not need to happen. The battalion chief should have been in a proper uniform and should not have been on a crime scene which the state was not informed needed to take place. The red light issue was a reasonable claim within the confines of understanding. Both parties were unprofessional and any issues the departments have, need to work out there problems before both departments are recommended to the state to cease their activities until they can work out their issues. Ths SASP will recommend to the state of san andreas that Reckless driving charge be redacted from the battalions record as there is no proof of such incident and the battalion was acting within a reasonable belief to clear the way. The battalion chief visually was acting in a civilian matter using a city vehicle in our opinion. The police chief failed to de escalate the scene and instead escalated the scene. The battalion could have been cuffed in the front temporarily however did refuse to exit the vehicle therefore we believe the battalion chief failed to follow a lawful order and was disorderly. This will be CC’d to Chief Pendlebury and Sheriff Reaper.

You may move this to the appropriate thread since you now have the new channels
