Incident Description
In 2018, a former EPS officer filed a complaint against Koshowski who alleged that Koshowski mishandled the investigation into the former officer's sexual assault complaint. The complaint against Koshowski was initially withdrawn by the complainant, who later changed her mind and wished to have the complaint reopened. The Chief of Police did not reopen the complaint and the complainant appealed to the Law Enforcement Review Board, who remitted the matter to the Police Commission for reconsideration in 2021.
