OPS 2020-0031 · September 2, 2020 (occurrence)

Rebbecca Johnson

Anderson failed to take, investigate, or write a report on a Domestic Violence Protection Order violation. Sgt. Summers failed to supervise the case to completion. Chief Beazizo's own running sheet notes "lack of in person communications" and that "Employee failed to investigate and submit a report as required by policy."

Disposition
Not within policy for BOTH Officer Anderson AND Sgt. Summers — Counseling + Performance Improvement Plan (Oct 7, 2020)

What the file shows

Chief Beazizo's running-sheet entries (Oct 1 – 7, 2020) are unusually detailed for an OPS file because the failure is so plain: "Supervisor failed to follow up with employee in person to get the report completed. Employee failed to investigate and submit a report as required by policy."

Both Officer Anderson and Sgt. Summers were found Not Within Policy for "Training or employee assistance issue." Anderson received written counseling via a PIR. Summers — the supervisor who had been Not Within Policy on supervisory failures multiple times before — was placed on a Performance Improvement Plan monitored by Commander Brooks.

Detective Sgt. Miner and Det. Parnell are listed as witness officers in the file. Parnell is the same detective who, two years later in November 2022, would conduct the windowless-room interrogation of Gina Bloom referenced in the Second Amended Complaint.

Why this file matters

Even when LSPD finds its own DV failure egregious enough to sustain a Not-Within-Policy finding against both officer and supervisor, the discipline is coaching and a PIP. Sgt. Summers's repeated documented supervisory failures here are part of the Marshall PC analysis cited on the Operations page.
