W. Mathis FROM: Lieutenant M. Denson, Sr. "wed DATE: February 17, 2003 RE: Preliminary OPS Complaint Investigator J, Villaroel Thave completed the preliminary OPS file as directed into the matter of Investigator J. Villaroel. T have included a sampling of questions to address with her pending approval by you and Deputy Chief Brooks. My preliminary investigation has revealed the following facts: Sergeant's Harty and Whitmire first became aware of a potential problem on January 18, 2003. Investigator L, Browning assisted in obtaining a search warrant for Echo Street N. W. from information developed by zone one officers. Zone one stopped and arrested Jit. for traffic and narcotics violations on January 14, 2003. ‘The search warrant was executed on January 15, 2003, ‘Sergeant Whitmire observed Investigator Villaroel on January 16, 2003 going through the cubical drawers of Investigator Browning's cubical and notified Sergeant Harty via telephone. Sergeant Harty went to the cubical and saw Inv. Villaroel “searching” as Harty stated Inv. Browning’s desk area. Investigator Gilmore also witnessed this action. When questioned, Villaroel explained her actions according to Sgt. Harty as Inv. Browning was supposed to leave a report for her (Villaroel) on her (Browning’s) desk. Villaroel at the direction of Sgt. Harty picked up the telephone and had ‘what sounded like a conversation with Browning. Sgt. Harty after this call went to his desk, called Inv, Browning and asked if she had received a call from Villaroel. Inv. Browning responded no according to Sgt. Harty. Sgt. Harty retrieved and secured all the files for (7——iie (On January 16, 2003 a wireless camera was installed at the direction of Sgt. Whitmire in the area. of Inv, Browning’s cubicle. It was upgraded to a hardwire camera on January 17, 2003. ‘On January 28, 2003 at the direction of Sgt. Whitmire, a dummy file was created and strategically placed in inv. Browning’s cubicle drawer. Iny. Browning placed a dummy telephone call in earshot of Inv. Villarvel, In approximately less than two minutes after Browning made the call and left her area, Inv, Villaroel entered the cubicle area and started looking around. P 18-1-2 03 1 0085 SOP Page Two Villaroel - OPS Complaint Memo February 17, 2003 Investigator Villaroel eventually removed the file, left the area of the camera for approximately 7 minutes, 5 seconds then returned and replaced the file, This act was recorded cn tape. Employee Work Rule 2.33 (Conformance to Directives) states: “Bvery employee of the department shall familiarize herself/himself with and conform to rules, regulations, directives, and standard operating procedures of the department”. BPS,.SOP.4.12 (Criminal Investigations Division) Section 8.16.9 states: “Access to unit investigative files will be granted to persons having both a "right-to- know" and a "need-to-know", Access to persons outside the Unit must be granted by a unit supervisor”. Based on the Work Rule and SOP above, I recommend that this complaint be further investigated to obtain information and statements from Investigator Villaroel and Officer Henninger. The statement from Henninger is to address the issue of a telephone call from an APD Officer assigned at the Airport Precinct. Henninger was allegedly asked to release the hold on the vehicle of MMMM that contained approximately 10 ounces of powdered cocaine on the initial arest.
