Below are some of the noteworthy legal documents that the Austin (TX) Police Department Open Records Unit sent me through an attachment to a June 25, 2020, reply e-mail letter from that APD unit in response to my April 22, 2020, public-information request (final item, below) to APD. (I am currently waiting for a hard-copy printout from APD that will provide me with numerous other legal documents responsive to that public-information request from myself.)

"Hello Mike,
"Hope all is well. Can I request a follow up on a subject that seems to be possibly deteriorating? He regularly sends large group emails to every police, city and state official you can think of. I have been saving the email under the above case number, however he does have several more recent cit interactions. Our admin said he is now calling several times a day, and his large group emails seem to be increasing. He is always polite but it is too much.

"The reason he contacts the sex crimes unit is because he says someone is coming through the walls and raping him multiple times on a nightly basis. He was instructed to set up deer cameras in his room, which he did and he thinks he has caught the suspect on the deer camera. Unfortunately it is just a lot of photos of him in his underwear in bed. There are some saved under the attachments in the above case number so you can get an idea of what I am talking about. He is a very educated man but has some issues that may be getting worse.

"His name is John McMillan, w/m 4/27/1957

"Let me know if I need to generate a new report and I can do that.

"Thanks,
"Jason

To: Public Information Office,
Austin Police Department,
715 East 8th Street,
Austin, Texas 78701
Office phone: (512) 974-5017.

Dear Public Information Administrator for the Austin Police Department (APD),

This is a Texas Open Records request in which I seek to obtain from you a copy of any and all e-mail communications that were written by any of the following 15 cited APD officers----regardless of the their cited rank or APD division or assignment as officers during that period---at any time from 8 a.m. April 1, 2011, through the present, and that directly referred at least once in any manner to myself, John Kevin McMillan of Austin, Texas:

---Austin Police Chief Brian Manley.
---APD Chief of Staff and Assistant Police Chief Troy Gay.
---Assistant Police Chief Jennifer Stephenson.
---Commander Catherine Johnson.
---Commander Arthur Fortune.
---Lt. Gena Curtis.
---Lt. Brian Gruetzner.
---Sgt. Mark Jelesijevic.
---Sgt. Sandra Benningfield.
---Sgt. Micah Roberts.
---Sgt. Lance White.
---Detective Rob Field.
---Detective John Hitzelberg.
---Detective Jason Martin.
---Officer Ashley Uniszkiewicz

Included in the scope of this public-information request are any and all e-mail letters that any of the above-cited 15 APD officers wrote and sent sent to me.

My legal name is "John Kevin McMillan. I was born on April 27, 1957, at Lincoln, Nebraska.

I am the longstanding criminal-law-complainant in the still-unsolved APD Case 16-1340923. It is an alleged continuous and continuing Sex Crimes case for which APD's Sex Crimes Unit in the latter half of 2019 and early January 2020 accepted from me a half-dozen or more flashdrives containing thousands of photo images of alleged home-invasion-crimes perpetrators and alleged sex-crimes perpetrators and alleged
personal-injury-crimes perpetrators that had been obtained for me in the latter half of 2019 by either of two motion-sensitive infrared cameras of mine from inside my bedroom during my sleeping hours as I lay ALONE on a twin-size bed I myself own inside my current solo-occupancy efficiency apartment unit in Building 17 at Pebble Creek Apartments, 8805 North Plaza Drive, in north Austin.

This public-information request was prompted by my noting today that in the approximately 13-year period ever since July 29, 2007, I myself can currently recall having received reply e-mail letters from at least 10 of APD's higher-ranking officers in response to e-mails from me referring to my being a victim of crime.

One of those e-mail letters directly addressed to me and directly sent to me, the very last item below, was from Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo.

Those 10 current or former higher-ranking APD officers are or were: APD Chief Art Acevedo; APD Assistant Chief Sean Mannix; APD Commander Julie O'Brien; Lt. Brian Gruetzner; APD Lt. Gena Curtis; APD Sgt. Mark Jelesijevic; APD Sgt. Micah Roberts; APD Sergeant Lance White; APD Night Shift Detective Rob Field; and Sergeant Michael King.

I have been a resident of Austin, Texas, on a continuous and uninterrupted basis ever since mid-March 1997.

In the applicable period ever since April 1, 2011, I have resided as a rent-paying official tenant or rent-paying management-team-approved occupant at the following respective home addresses:

---Wind River Crossing Apartments, 11411 Research Boulevard, Apt. 325, Austin, TX 78759.
---Crossland Economy Studios, 12621 Hymeadow Road, Room 133, Austin, TX 78729.
---Village Oaks Apartments, 10926 Jollyville Road, Apt. 902, Austin, TX 78759.
---Village Oaks Apartments, 10926 Jollyville Road, Apt. 1609, Austin, TX 78759.
---Austin Motor Inn, 11400 N Interstate Hwy 35, Austin, TX 78753.
---Pebble Creek Apartments, 8805 North Plaza Drive, Apartment 2418, Austin, TX 78753.

I have paid for and maintained the same landline phone number (512-342-2295) and the same primary e-mail address (mcmillanj@att.net) throughout the entire approximately nine-year period applicable to this public-information request. Ever since August 2019, I have also paid for and obtained cell phone service for myself through AT&T, with my cell phone number being (512) 993-7305.


Below, for your convenience, are copies of e-mail reply letters, each of them sent to me this century, that I have received from seven respective higher-ranking APD officials and, in one other case immediately below, a lower-ranking APD officer, Officer Ashley Uniszkiewicz, who emphasized to me in writing in her January 22, 2020, reply letter to me that she serves as a negotiator and a "special response team" member, and that she also does patrol duty for APD:

Good Morning John,
I am an officer with APD just trying to assist you. I do work with the CIT unit but am also a negotiator and on special response team. I also still work quite a bit of patrol. You have every right to file any criminal charge, however due to various reason, charges are unable to be pressed against the people you are wanting to press
charges against. I am merely trying to assist you in the best way possible. The individuals you keep emailing are unable to help you, and have asked me to try and assist you.

Thank you,
Officer Uniszkiewicz #6837

Dear APD Officer Uniszkiewicz,
One polite question for you:
Are you a crime investigator for Austin Police?
If not, an attorney member of the State Bar of Texas has helpfully advised me not to have any communications with an APD mental-health office.
I am psychologically healthy, as you know, and I am among the top 1 percent of the most honest and law-abiding single adult white men of Austin. I am also gainfully employed and have good continuity with my employers.

I am very law-abiding and vigilant and I am a longstanding criminal-law complainant with APD. I do very emphatically insist on my legal right to press criminal-law charges through APD or the FBI against any and all persons---regardless of whether they are "effeminate", "gay", "homosexual", "bisexual", "African-American", "dark-skinned", "Jewish", "Italian", "senior citizens", cited "relatives" of mine, etc.,--- who allegedly are ever determined to have been physically present ANYWHERE inside my bolt-locked apartment unit at any time during my sleeping hours or at any time during my napping hours.

Sincerely and Best Wishes,
John Kevin McMillan.

Mr. McMillan,
As per our conversation yesterday I told you that you could make arraignments for a patrol officer to pick up your video for submission to the Sex Crimes Unit. As for confirmation regarding reports , videos, and misc. documents you will need to contact the Records Unit and request them under open records.

In regards to suspicious subjects you will need to call 311 to report and request a patrol officer to respond.

Mr. McMillan,

I have reviewed the report and the audio/video recording of the incident under case number 14-0200747. Officer Best clearly states that “I am not forbidding you from calling.”

Officer Best suggested to you that “you need to stop calling for this event,” however, “if you have locked your door and it is broken in the morning, or there is some amount of evidence that furthers something then yes you need to call us, or if you want to speak with a mental health officer then yes we will come out and talk with you.”

I find no evidence that Officer Best has prohibited you from calling 911.

Dear Chief Acevedo,

Congratulations on your very influential new position as Chief of Police for the City Government of Austin.

As a resident of Austin ever since mid-March of 1997, most recently, I am writing to ask you:

---whether you have any plans to request that the Austin Police Department (APD) compile and share with the Austin City Council at a designated public meeting of the Council, a monthly or semiannual or annual APD report providing statistics and other factual information about APD's most recent efforts at enforcing any and all applicable laws, including any municipal ordinance, prohibiting or restricting noise pollution in Austin.

---whether you believe that the Austin Police Department at present adequately enforces any and all applicable laws prohibiting or restricting certain types of anonymous communications in any and all contexts that might ever arise for which a criminal-law implication deriving from those anonymous communications might ever be cited or alleged.

----whether the Austin Police Department should have any role in helping to deter fraudulent or obscene verbalized communications by any media company or any cited business entity or non-profit organization or government-owned entity operating in Austin, Texas.

---whether you believe that the Austin Police Department currently does enough to compile statistical data relating to, and also investigate, alleged cases of verbal harassment or alleged terroristic threats being verbalized in Austin, Texas, in which alleged slander or alleged verbalization of death threats, for that matter, allegedly occur as well.

Thank you in advance, Chief Acevedo, for your very helpful responses to these four hopefully-polite questions from myself.

Sincerely and Best Wishes from a law-abiding and honest, clean-talking, non-stalking and consistently civil, teetotaling and alcohol-free, tobacco-free, facially cleanshaven, tattoo-less, former full-time clerical employee of the Texas Department of Public Safety state agency in Austin, John Kevin McMillan,
