[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone have ideas on how to question, complain about MPD and or hold MPD accountable? It is in the victim's interest as well as the publics' interest to know what measures they took to root out the criminals. Protect the victim at all costs and allow the public to actually have confidence they actually did an investigation instead just saying they did. Right now I have no confidence in anything MPD did and GDS is connivingly using that as an opportunity to defect and bury things.  This is how grownups in charge fail children and it's unforgivable, both of these groups.

My gut tells them there is something foul going on here. It feels like a rigged sports game where fouls are deliberately not called in order to have the predetermined team win.
This affects not only the victim but others going there. It's in the public interest that MPD show someone other than themselves what they did to work this case.

I have never found MPD reliable and found them unmotivated to solve crimes even when  everything was right in front of them. I found it even more hopeless when trying to hold anyone at MPD accountable. It really feels like they get to do whatever they feel like with no higher authority to check them. They are famous for stonewalling and evading themselves.

Does anyone have avenues for dealing with MPD? to question them?   What would an actionable process look like that can help the victim and the students at GDS who are pretty much sitting ducks. I and a lot of others don't have any confidence in what MPD did to solve this case because of what I saw or lack thereof and the fact that they provide zero details on anything other than self grading themselves.[/quote]
Yea, this is an overburdened department. Most of the patrol division is going from call to call to call with little downtime in between. They're not going to take any action unless it's handed to them on a silver platter. [/quote]

This is correct and how the MPD operate.  It isn’t like they have the time to investigate anything unless forced to by pressure from national news or something high profile.  There are no resources for regular operations and they move onto the next case as soon as possible.

They take a statement, file the paperwork, and with no clear leads they move onto the next case immediately.[/quote]

Again, tell us how you would approach this investigation.

An 11 year old child tells his parents about an assault that took place in November in January, no specific dates given so any where from 9 weeks, assuming the assault happened in the first week of November and the boy told his parents in the first week of January, to 13 weeks, assuming the assault happened in the first week of November and was reported to the parents at the end of January. The police report was submitted on 23 January. The family told the school in February.

What do the Police do? The child cannot identify his attackers. I would assume that the Police asked if the child's clothing from that day had been left untouched and that the answer would be no. I doubt the kid hid away his school uniform so it wasn't washed. Any physical evidence on the child would have healed and been washed away. I would assume that they visited the school and looked for security cameras and asked for any video that they had from that location of the school if it existed. I would hope that they asked the school for their log book of visitors, I am assuming that GDS requires visitors sign in and out of the school, so they could look at those individuals who might have been visiting the school on that day.

You seem to be assuming that the Police came, took the child's statement and did not ask about clothes, video footage, and other potential evidence and hence did a lousy job investigating. If they did all of the above, what else do you expect them to do? Unless the child remembers something to help find the individuals or someone ends up sharing information, there is not much to investigate. And if no one had heard something and didn't report it before or after the family email and all this outrage, it is not likely to happen.
