 | U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation Internal Affairs Division Greetings. Washington DC has appointed Chief of Staff Sir Klaus to evaluate this case, as there is currently no acting Director. The Bureau would like to begin by aplogising to those involved, on behalf of FBI Special Agent Kowalski. Despite the outcome of this complaint, we remain in support of the Special Agent and find him an integral part of what the FBI is trying to achieve in Vice City. Although mistakes have been made, despite these setbacks his commitment and hard work has not gone unnoticed. Although this may not be clear to the general public, the FBI have been able to fight back against organised crime with the help of FBI Special Agent Kowalski. We wanted to make this absolutely clear before evaluating this report. We begin with the evidence posted regarding the reported endangerment. Although SA Kowalski appears to have thought that there were no civilians present in the immediate vicinity, the evidence provided obviously proves SA Kowalski was wrong in his judgement. He should of checked the area more thoroughly before conducting controlled explosions, especially on a busy street such as this. A much safer option was have been to either get the vehicles towed, or move them safely before conducting a controlled explosion. Luckily no one was hurt, but this doesn't excuse the fact that his choices did in fact potentially endanger those around him. This is unacceptable. The reports for misuse of equipment and vandalism will be ignored, as abandoned vehicles, whether owned by the state or not, can be destroyed by Law Enforcement if deemed to be obstructing roads. Now, concerning the report for failure to read the Miranda Rights properly, this depends on who the arresting Officer is at the scene. From evidence submitted, this appears to have been VCPD Officer Hazard. Although there does seem to have been some miscommunication between both SA and the VCPD Officer, it is by default the one who issues the arrest "/sus" who is the arresting Officer. It is therefore the responsibility of VCPD Officer Hazard to have read the Miranda Rights, and not of SA Kowalski. This doesn't however, clear the SA of any wrongdoing. Kowalski is experienced enough to have at least spotted this oversight and should have helped the Officer, as that was his reasoning for being present at the scene initially. Now, I do not think it is the FBI's job to be training VCPD Officer's, and for that I do not agree with Kowalski's idea of interfering with local police matters just to help train their new recruits. Officer Hazard has already passed the Academy, and is therefore trusted enough by his employers that he is capable of making an arrest when needed. FBI should not be involved in traffic stops that have no interest to FBI investigations. You have pulled the FBI into question for no purpose to the FBI themselves. I am disappointed that SA Kowalski was mixed up in local police matters, transporting a suspect that was not in his custody, to the police station. This should have been the job of the arresting Officer. FBI should be focusing their full attention always to their own duties. If Kowalski had done this initially, it would have not caused this mix up and miscommunication. Moving on to the matter of Negligence by leaving a suspect unattended. I will not accept any excuse that it is ok to leave a suspect unattended, wherever you are. SA Kowalski left the suspect handcuffed, inside a car, for a prolonged period. Now, despite it being out side the police station, you still failed to hand over the suspect to another Officer. This is why your excuse of him being left outside a police station is indeed false. No other police officer was aware of the suspect being left in the car. This is indeed negligence. Now you mentioned that you had to leave the suspect because of a "life or death" situation involving a SWAT raid on a drug smugglers boat. I cannot accept this as a good enough reason for an FBI agent to leave a suspect unattended to. It is not the job of FBI to be getting involved in SWAT raids. Yes you may have needed to be involved in some investigative means, but you should have dealt with the suspect first, either putting them into a holding cell (arrest) or letting them out on bail (let them off). In conclusion, Special Agent Kowalski is found to be guilty of Negligence and Endangerment. The Bureau find it necessary therefore, to issue a last warning and a 3 day suspension. Any future Negligence within the next 2 months will result in the immediate sacking of Special Agent Kowalski. I expect the utmost professionalism and zero mistakes from hereon. Regards, Sir Klaus Chief of Staff U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation. |
