About once a month, somebody is upset enough about the campus police to file a formal complaint. Usually it's a claim that one of the cops was copping an attitude.
"That's probably the largest complaint we've had — ‘I don't like his attitude,' or something like that," said Gene Burton, director of public safety and chief of Ball State University Police Department.A Daily News review of documents from the department shows UPD received 47 complaints in the past four years, most claiming rudeness and misconduct of its officers.
Burton likes to point out that it's a relatively small number of complaints, given that officers responded to more than 70,000 service calls in that time.
