I waited a long time before I decided to post this letter that I received from LAPD Lieutenant Nicholas Sinibaldi in regards to LAPD Detective Jerry Gibson who I had a personal relationship with until he exercised poor judgement and decided to threaten me because he wasn't getting what he was persistently pursuing. Lt. Sinibaldi is one of the very few sworn personnel of the LAPD that I have interacted with who has integrity; and I have interacted with a lot. Little did Lt. Sinibaldi know at the time he wrote this that years later it would become an evidentiary document that would catch several sworn personnel of the LAPD (including Gibson himself and his former commanding officer Deputy Chief Peter Zarcone) making false statements, manufacturing content in official government documents (including in e-files) then generating further false and misleading documentation to cover up the later. Zarcone was also my brother Frank's commanding officer when he made false statements of a significant nature in a now evidentiary document to cover up an incident related to my father's untimely death as a consequence of the negligence and dereliction of duty of Sgt. Joel Sydanmaa (Serial No. 33196). https://jacqibone.blogspot.com/2016/07/lapd-sergeant-joel-sydanmaa-on-job.html The incident with my brother was just one of numerous incidents relating to his aggressive harassment of me in retaliation for me having reported his personal and financial involvement with convicted felon and federal prisoner Colin Nathanson of South Africa to the LAPD. https://jacqibone.blogspot.com/2020/05/societal-entropy-and-decay.html This was an issue that the LAPD, including Captain Brian Thomas of the LAPD's Internal Affairs Criminal Investigations Division, remained and continues to remain complicit on. Why am I posting this now? I am doing it because I was an innocent victim of the LAPD's culture of depravity, of LAPD Detective Jerry Gibson and of my brother Frank who incessantly harmed my life by invoking police officer privilege while the LAPD ignored my pleas for protection. https://jacqibone.blogspot.com/2015/12/my-pastdetective-jerry-gibson-lapd.html Look below at the outrageous entanglement Detective Jerry Gibson dragged me into with the audacity years later to lie about it after I honorably shielded him from professional harm. I am also posting this now because the public has a right to know. This is what every civilian fears... cops telling lies verbally, in their databases, in documentation and ultimately in court. This is a very dangerous situation as these are the unethical actions that can land an innocent person in jail.
Ms Sebiane:
The letter you received is one of a handful of form letters that could be sent out after a complaint is adjudicated. Unfortunately, the wording in these letters is prescribed based one of a few possible adjudications. We have no leeway in changing the wording they contain. In some cases, the letters people receive from the police department may seem at odds with what they expected, but that is often because the letters are not allowed to be customized to suit every situation. So, the letter which comes closest to describing the police department's findings is what is sent out to people who have made complaints.
In this case, you made it clear you wished no action to be taken against Detective Gibson. Therefore, the letter was the best one to accommodate your strongly expressed wish that the matter not affect him or his career. If the letter had said he was guilty of something specific, that would have had a serious impact on his career. Recall that you called me to insist that nothing happen to him. Classifying the complaint as "Unfounded" satisfies your request that nothing happen to him.
Please be assured that Gibson's record accurately reflects everything that you said (it was all on tape). It was all fully documented and thoroughly reviewed starting with two police lieutenant's, then to his Captain, and all the way up to the level of a Deputy Chief. There has not been anything that wasn't examined. The police department spent several weeks working on your complaint. Believe me, a lot of work already went into this.
Gibson has been ordered not to ever contact you again, so please do not expect an apology from him. Let me apologize on his and the Department's behalf. We are all sorry this ever happened.
As to the letter being detrimental to you, that is not the case. The letter is confidential and has not, and will not be seen by anyone other than yourself, the person who signed it, and the clerk who filed it away. We process thousands of these letters and have an unblemished record when it comes to their confidentiality.
There is nothing I can do beyond explaining the process, so I hope this was helpful. If you have any more questions, please let me know..
I hope this helps..
Thanks
Lieutenant Nicholas Sinibaldi
