Chief Frego stated the Department was being “creative” in its scheduling efforts. Chief Frego stated the Department would be losing another officer at the end of June due to a very serious upcoming surgery.

Chief Frego stated he is aware the Town Council has been very busy with the appointment of a new council member to replace Councilman Michael Fryzel, and they have not been able to address the matter of a new police car. Chief Frego state he would make an appeal to the Town Council again after matters settle down but unfortunately, there are no more Ford Crown Victorias available.

These employees have created a third crew which is assigned to the clean up detail. The regular Public Works crews have been working 10 hours a day, but they cannot get caught up.

PUBLIC COMMENT

Mr. Adrian Bugariu, of 11747 W. 90th Avenue, St. John, asked the Commission the following question, “What is the purpose of the Police Commission? What exactly are the duties and ...?” Commissioner Dodaro advised that information is included in the Indiana State Statute for Police Commissions. Commissioner Dodaro stated, for the sake of argument, the Commission sets policy, and is in charge of hiring, firing and promotions.

Mr. Bugariu stated he had his camera taken away from him in 2008, and he was told by Officer Sidenbender that he had to arrest him and take his camera because he (Adrian) had been taking pictures. Mr. Bugariu stated his camera has not yet been returned to him. Commissioner Dodaro asked Mr. Bugariu if he was arrested when his camera was taken. Mr. Bugariu stated yes, he was. Commissioner Dodaro asked Mr. Bugariu if that case was still pending. Mr. Bugariu stated Jerrie Teibel put restrictions on him for stalking, but she was the one doing the stalking. Commissioner Dodaro asked Mr. Bugariu several more times if the case was still pending, and he finally answered “yes.” Mr. Bugariu then asked if the Police Department has an Internal Affairs Division or individual. Commissioner Dodaro advised that whenever there is a complaint filed against a police officer, that complaint will be investigated. Commissioner Dodaro stated this is not like Chicago, or the State of Indiana or the State of Illinois. The Police Department does not have an Internal Affairs Division. Complaints are investigated as they come in. Mr. Bugariu then began speaking of procedures when Chief Joseph Guzik was in charge. Mr. Bugariu stated that it seems to him that since Chief Frego has been in charge, he (Frego) has a different policy wherein all the charges or complaints are tossed in the garbage, or they are never received, just like (Mike) Fryzel and Jerrie Teibel used to toss the torte notices into the garbage. Commissioner Dodaro stated he cannot debate what Fryzel and Teibel did, but he could tell him this: The policy is the complaint form is filled out at the police station and signed in front of witnesses. The complainant, whoever that may be, does not walk away with a copy of the complaint. The complaint is then forwarded to the Police Chief, and it is investigated. Some discussion ensued.

Mr. Bugariu stated he knows for a fact certain police officers inside the Police Department know about Fryzel trying to commit attempted murder against him on May 14th, 2005. Mr. Bugariu stated he requests that this man (Fryzel) be arrested and charged with attempted murder. Mr. Bugariu then started speaking of Chief Frego disciplining his very good friend Bernie Johnsen. Commissioner Dodaro stopped Mr. Bugariu at this point, stating that these issues have been debated over and over again throughout the years, and he does not have answers for him (Bugariu). Commissioner Dodaro stated that if Mr. Bugariu was not satisfied with the St. John Police Department, he had the right to go to the Prosecutor’s Office and file a complaint there. Mr. Bugariu began making comments about the case that is pending in court, and Commissioner Dodaro stated again that he could not discuss this matter as it is still in court. Mr. Bugariu ended by stating, “I demand that Fryzel be arrested and charged with attempted murder.”

MEETING SCHEDULE

The next Regular Meeting will be on Monday, August 8, 2011. The Regular Public Meeting will begin at 7:00 P.M. There will be a Work Study Session only if deemed necessary. Any and all Executive Sessions will be advertised pursuant to law.
