RE: COMPlAINT S FlLED REGARDIN G LAW REN CE POUCE DEP ARTMENT CONDUCT

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Neighoors:

The City of lawrence continues to receive numerous complaints from you regarding theconduct of members of the lawrence Police Department as well as employees of many

other agencies including the United States Justice Department. Many of the complaints

appear to be similar to prior complaints that you have filed with the Police Department.

It is my und erstanding that you are currently facing prosecution in the United States

District Court for the District of Kansas in a pair of cases. As I have stated to you in

previous letters, we must ensure that our internal affairs investigation does not

jeopardize the independence of the criminal justice process. Therefore, the

investigation of your complaints related to those cases is being withheld until the

conclusion of those cases.

Please be advised that the City of Lawrence has no disciplinary authority over and no

responsibility for the acts of other governmental entities. You should file complaints

against Federal law enforcement agents and prosecutors with their respective agencies.

Finally, due to the sheer number and overlapping nature of the complaints that youhave filed, if you would like to prepare a complaint document with all of your complaints

in one document, it would help us ensure that we are addressing all of your concerns at

the appropriate time.
