What is the name of your state? Georgia, but the offense occurred in Florida.
Hi! I posted this to another board, but maybe I needed to come here.
I have a question. My mother and I were the victims of a correctional offficer's savage verbal abuse when in Jacksonville, Florida trying to get a family member released from jail. I went on to send several letters and emails to the sheriff, the mayor, and city council discussing the incident. We initially received several emails of apology from the mayor, the sheriff, the police ethics board, and even an internal affairs officer investigating the matter. However, the attention to the matter seems to have disappeared. I saved all of the correspondence, but it has been two months since we've heard anything else. What steps should we take now? I think that this is being swept under the rug. The correctional officer was pretty nasty concerning my brother's guilt or innocence. The charges were dismissed against him. However, while we were waiting for that issue to be resolved, we had to deal with the officer's comments concerning what he thought should happen in the case. It really caused my mother and I some horrible, undue stress. Any ideas how to proceed?
