LETTER OF CENSURE

NOTICE OF SUSPENSION
Trooper Raap:
On June 18, 2012, while assigned to the desk at SP Middletown, you falled to
investigate properly the complaint of a young man who reported to you that his exboyfriend was harassing him. Rather than gather basic information from the young man,
including his biographical information, you purportedly called the alleged harasser to dfrect
him to stop annoying the complainant, The target of the complaint was an adult who was
engaged in a sexual relationship with the complainant, who was a minor. Another police
agency ultimately arrested the subject of the complaint.
You neglected to enter the complaint into SJS and did not complete a
Domestic Incident Report. Your failure to perform a basic investigation, and complete the
associated paperwork, is unacceptable and demonstrates poor judgment and a neglect of
your job duties.
Accordingly, you are hereby formally censured. You are also suspended
without pay for two (2) days, March 11 , 2013, and March 12, 2013.

COMPLAINANT:

Reference is made to the attached Investigation Report of Sergeant/Station Commander
fHILLIP D. CADY, SP Middletown, dated August 25, 2012 regarding the above-captioned subject.

.

.

I have reviewed the attached report submitted by Sergeant/SC CADY and concur with
his findings. Investigation into this matter revealed that on June 27, 2012 the complainant alleged that
on June 18, 2b12 he reported a sexual assault to an unknown Trooper assigned to desk duties at SP
Middletown but his complaint was dismissed by the Trooper (later identified as Trooper MICHAEL G.
RAAP, EOD 05/10/99, SP Deerpark).

Investigation determined that Trooper RAAP failed to obtain Mr. pedigree
infonnation as required, which would have then had the foundation to believe a sexual crime could have
been committed. Trooper RAAP failed to conduct a complete and thorough investigation into the
reported violation, complete an SJS entry and a Domestic Incident Report. In doing so, Trooper RAAP
violated the following Rules and Regulations of the New York State Police:

81}2 -

failed to comply with the Rules, Regulations and Instructions, specifically, the
instructions contained in: ·

Article 1114 (a)-

call for service and that he failed to complete a domestic incident report as required. This investigation will
be closed as "founded." I recommend appropriate administrative action.

did not recall the name of the ex-boyfriend but did remember
Additionally, he discarded the paper it was written on. Trooper RAAP said
then inquired if his
ex-boyfriend could get in trouble for anything else at which point Trooper RAAP advised him that it
appeared as though it ·was a harassment complaint. then asked Trooper RAAP if his exboyfriend could get in to trouble for haying a relationship with him. Trooper RAAP said he inquired as to
what the nature of the relationship was, at which point becarne agitated and abruptly left the
station. Due to quick departure, Trooper RAAP was unable to ask further questions. Trooper
RAAP' stated that a l t h o u g h - i d e n t i f i e d - as an ex-boyfriend, he did not mention that
the relationship was sexual and did not report a sexual crime.'Trooper RAAP stated he didn't complete an
SJS entry or Domestic Incident Report because he didn't h a v e - identifying information and did
not want to make an incomplete entry or report. He further stated that he failed to obtain the basic pedigree
from from the onset of the contact and did. not think to call back to obtain the
necessary information. Additionally, he staled that did not appear to be underage. Since he did
not o b t a i n - date of birth, he did not consider that a sexual relationship between the pair would
constitute a crime. Refer to attached Genl. 7, memorandum of Trooper RAAP, identified as enclosure# 6.
8.
On August 17, 2012 Mr.
telephonically contacted SP Middletown and was interviewed
by Sergeant RONALD FENDT. Mr.
stated he told the Trooper at the desk about being harassed
by Mr. After telling the Trooper how he was being harassed, the Tro~him there was
nothing he could do since there wasn' t a n y t h i n ~ nature. At that point Mr. . . . . . said he told ,
the Trooper the relationship was sexual. Mr. . . . . . said the Trooper just stood there and looked at
him like he had ten eyes. Mr. said he repeated that he and Mr. had a sexual
relationship and the Trooper j ust stood there, looked at .him and agaip stated there was nothing he could do
other than calling him so he ·ust left the station. Mr.
identified the erson with him when he
came to file his complaint as
. Mr. said he was now in Pennsylvania visiting friends at an undisclosed location and would not be able for
further interview nor would he give a deposition.
9.

On August 19th and 20th 2012, I attempted to contact M s . - with negative results.

10.
On August 25, 2012, Ms.
RICKY D. WILLIAMS Jr.. Ms.
Middletown to file his complaint o
the desk that his ex-boyfriend· Mr.
said the Trooper took Mr.

contacted SP Middletown and was interviewed by Sergeant
confirmed she was with Mr.
when he went to SP
18, 2012: Ms. said Mr.
told the T r o ~
was harassing him and threatened to beat him. Ms. phone number, went lo another room and came back a few

minutes later and said he told Mr. to stay away from M r - Ms. said Mr.
said "ok" and they left the station. Refer to attached Genl. 4, deposition of Ms. identified as enclosure # 7.

Conclusion:
Investigation in to this matter revealed Trooper RAAP was working at the front desk of SP
Middletown from l;00PM until 7:00 PM on June 18, 2012, when the complainant, Mr.
the station to report being ~ a s s e d by his ex-boyfriend
Trooper RAAP called Mr. - - and advised him and Mr.
t
· from contacting each
other. left the building before Trooper RAAP could ascertain
pedigree infonnation
or specifics about the pair's relationship. Although- claimed duribg his interview with Sergeant
FENDT that he told Trooper RAAP their relationship was sexual in nature, that claim is unsubstantiated by
the interviews of Trooper RA.Al>, Detective KENNEY and Ms. The infonnation provided by Mr.
does not appear to have indicated the incident involved any form of sexual abuse and Trooper
RAAP stated that the complainant did not appear to be underage. However, Trooper RAAP failed to obtain
pedigree information as required. Had this information been secured, Trooper RAAP WO\lld
have had the foundation to believe a sexual crime could have been committed. Additionally, Trooper
RAAP failed to conduct a complete and thor9ugh investigation into the reported violation or assign another
member to do so, did not complete an SJS entry and did not complete a Domestic Incident Report.
All facts obtained during this investigation conclude that Trooper. RAAP did violate the following cited
Regulations of the New York State Police:

8A2

Failed to comply with the Rules, Regulations and Instructions, speci:ficatly, the
instructions contained in:
Article 11 I 4 (a)- by failing to ensure t h a t ~ e s t for service was
investigated when the complaint of Mr. . . . . . was not properly
bandied on June 18, 2012.
Article 32B2- by failing to conduct a basic investigation when Mr.
reported a harassment complaint on June 18, 2012.
Article 33N(4)11- by failing to complete a domestic incident as
r~quired.
Failed to comply with the instructions contained in Executive
Memorandum I0al0 and the SJS Manual which specifically states that
an SJS incident will be created to document all calls for service.

I recommend that this matter be classified as "Founded'; and recommend appropriate adminis~tive action.

.PERSONNEL COMPLAINT

· On July 25, 2012, I was advised oi~yriglits to representaµon pursuant to Article
16.2 of the contract by Sergeant JARED DUFFY. I provide the following account: ·
I was assigned to SP Middletown desk duties on the afternoon ofJulie 18, 2012 ..A
white male complainant, identified to me as
·· by Sgt DUFFY .on Ju\y 2_5,
2012, entered the lobby with a female friend.
stated he ·was being harassed by his ex:-.
boyfr.iend.Ife stated that on an earlier date the ex-boyfriend came to.the male's home where
· . ....awas inside m,d he was yelling at him to come.outside. I a s k e d - ifhe woul<i
like the ex-bo.yfriend to be contacte.d telephonically. I \\'anted to provid~.the suspect'with a
warning and preventany further problems. He stated yes. - p r o v i d ¢ me'with liis ex-.
boyfriend's name and phone mµnber by writing-it down on a piece of paper, w~ch l
subsequently discarded.
also advised me th~tthe ex-boyfriend, whose·name I do not
. recall,
. I contacted the ex-boyfriend telephQnically and advised him that
came to the police station ~d told me th~t he harassed· him. at a residepce by yelling 1
at him to come outsidei He denied harassing·or going to the residence to yell at. him. I
advised him to ,refrain from ~aking any phon~ calls or sending texl messages t o - to ' ·
avoid any future problems. He agreed. I then g a v e - the same warnings and advised
. -1$n to,end any contact witlJ: the ex~ooyfriend. He a ~ . stated he was satisfied with
the warning given to the ex-boyfriend.
·
then inquired if the-ex-boyfriend could get irt trouble for anything else.
Based on. the information provided, I a d v i s e d - that it appeared· to .be a possible
harassment complaint- then asked if the ex-boyfriend could get in trouble for having a
. relationship with him. I as~ed what the nature of the relationship was. -bec;ame
· agitated ~d abruptly left tlie station lobby. Although he 'stated they were ex-boyfriends, he never
mentioned that the relati9nsh1p was sexual and did not report a sex~l crime. Since he left
abruptly, .I did.not have the chance to ~k further question~.
..
I did not generate a SJS entry or cpmplete a domestic incident report because I
was unable to obtain any pedigree information from
and I did not·want to make an
incomplete entry. I. failed to obtain this information from .
from the onset of the

,

conversation. It did not occur to me to call.the ex-boyfriend back to o b t a i n - contact
❖ information.-· did not appear to be underage and since I didn't have his date of birth, I
did not consider that a sexual relationship between them would be a crime. I continued to man
the front desk at SP Middletown for the rest of the afternoon. At no time d i d - return
to the-station for me to obtain further information regarding his initial complaint. In the future, I
will be certain to obtain pedigree information immediately a.nd document cases in SJS.
