My office handles all the complaints against officers. I need some information from you so I can look into your complaint. I will need your full name, address where the incident took place if different from your home address.

You will be receiving a letter explaining the process. In your case since there are charges pending we wait until the court case is adjudicated before we start our investigation. If for some reason your case gets rescheduled for a later date then we might go ahead and start the investigation depending how far out it was rescheduled to.
