§ 29-12. Sanctions for knowingly filing false or frivolous complaint.

If the Chief determines that one or more allegations of a complaint are false and that the complainant knew them to be false when filed, or that one or more of the allegations of a complaint are frivolous and without merit, the Chief may refuse to review or investigate any complaint filed under this subtitle by the same complainant for a period of up to 3 years. The Chief may also recommend to the hearing examiner or the Board of Estimates that monetary sanctions be imposed against the complainant in the amount of the costs incurred for the investigation and review of the false or frivolous complaint.
