Officer Evaluation Report
Officer Name: Arlew Gripps
Administrative Comments:
In terms of overall performance, I would describe Gripps as a barely adequate officer—which, in Pallad City, is about the best we can hope for. Gripps is lax in his duties and applies minimal effort to any given task. His case reports arrive late, some of which are incomplete. Many of the cases assigned to him remain open and/or unsolved. He also shows a blatant disregard for police procedure. It is clear that the only reason Gripps can manage the most basic of duties is due to the impressive efforts of his partner, Jonio Sev.
Surprising that, unlike many of our current officers, Gripps did not graduate from the Fast-Track program and, instead, attended the reputable BlueCrest Academy. Unfortunately, so little of that training is being used.
Of considerable concern are the recent incidents involving inappropriate behavior and conduct unbecoming of an officer. According to the reports, several female officers have claimed Gripps made flirtatious and sexual remarks towards them. Internal Affairs will be investigating these allegations.

First things first here. For starters: HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🎆🎉🎈 HAPPY 2023!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OK, Now that that’s out of the way, it seems to me that the Mayor doesn’t seem to have, quite possibly, ANY Faith in Reena at all! Him, AND his VERY Attractive assistant, Mindi!
Oh no, he has complete faith in young Reena… faith that she will screw up!
Whose side is the mayor on?
His own.
According to the TvTropes article on Danger Zone One, under “Xanathos Gambit” – Should the PCPD fail to stop the murders at Sumter Academy, Neville will blame them, have them shut down, and install his own privatized police force. But if the PCPD accomplish their goals in stopping the murders, Neville will take credit and receive public praise for entrusting the police with the case in the first place.

Privatizing the police force is something that should be illegal. The mayor is one the road to becoming an autocrat.
