PAGE 1 CCFO No.: 2001-34 Complaint No.: 1 CONTINUATION Researching prior complaints, I obtained the complainant's name and telephone number. On 09-25-01 at 1145 hours, I recontacted the complaint to ohfer assistance. I identif€cd myself and informed the male party who answered the telephone that the police ~,vould not be able to transport anyone to the hospital but rescue personnel could be notified, I then overheard him asking a female party if she wanted to go the hospital. She informed him that she did not want to go to the hospital and would put on her earphones. I then tried to get information regarding the complaint from the male party. He informed me that at approximately 1045 hours a helicopter flew over his residence at a low altitude. I-Ie was unable to estimate the altitude although stated his house shook. The male party then continued to compaann about helicopters in the area, in general, at which time I tried to redirect him to the specific complaint, in attempt to identify the responsible helicopter and obtain the length of time the helicopter was in the area, The male party continued to complain about helicopters flying in the general area. IIe further explained that they were taking pictures. I then inquired if a copy of the photographs could be sent to me. fie agreed. During the conversation, the male party informed Yne that a military type helicopter had returned. I-Ie stated that the helicopter appeared to have landed near a residence a~aith construction workers on the roof and the construction workers scrambled o~thc roof. He estimated the helicopter to be about 2000 yards away from his residence. The Field Officer in Charge was informed of the complaint and officers were advised to vacate the area. At 1240 hours, I attempted to contact the complainant to inform her that all officers were advised to vacate the area. Upon answering the telephone, the female party stated she hated me and hung up the telephone. At 1340 hours, the female caller recontacted me and apologized for her rude behavior. I informed her that we have no intention of creating hardship for her and we are willing to work out the problem. I informed her of a previous conversation that we agreed that she would send me a diagram of the area in concern and we would limit our flights over the area, ~1Ve also agreed that upon their inquiry, we would verify if we are flying in the area and vacate the area for a reasonable time allowing them to move their patients indoors and provide them with earphones to listen to music. I again requested a diagram of the area and indicated that we would be snore than e~villing to find a compromise.
