So I got in touch with Sgt Lee of the VPD Professional Standards Section (PSS) yesterday. We spent about 45 min over the phone discussing the complaint that I have filed. Sgt Lee has been courteous and professional throughout the telephone conversation, and I appreciate the time and effort he has put in to respond to my complaint.

As a quick summary of sorts, I would say that while I appreciate the time and effort that Sgt Lee has taken to respond to my complaint as well as the various acknowledgments that he has made regarding my concerns, on many occasions I felt like we were respectful members on opposing sides of a disagreement. Our views and motivations on the issues are different, and at times, our conversation wasn't so much a discussion, but a respectful presentation of our differing views, and the acknowledgment of such. At other times, Sgt Lee has expressed that there are limitations to what he / the PSS can do regarding my concerns, and I was more or less expecting that as well.

After having our conversation, one key impression that I have come to see is, as part of the local automotive community, we really need to speak up and make more noise. In Sgt Lee's own words (or as close as I can remember), he encourages everyone to speak up for their rights. And until the Department starts receiving a larger number of complaints on the VI situation, the higher ups are probably not going to take any meaningful action to change things.
