Conversation with Capt. Ed Sarvis of the Durham Police

Yesterday I put in a phone call to Capt. Ed Sarvis, who is in charge of professional standards and internal affairs at the Durham Police Department. He wasn't in, so I left a message, saying I had some concerns about the Department's handling of the case that I wanted to discuss with him. To my surprise and delight, he did call me back today, and we discussed the matter at length. He was of the opinion that the police handled the case just fine. This was disappointing, but I was encouraged that he was willing to discuss the matter at length with someone who held a different view.
