In her complaint, the plaintiff identified three police officers who presumably responded to the incident described in the complaint, but she does not supply any facts about her interactions with any police officer.

Given that Brixsus is the jail’s administrator, it is fair to infer that Brixsus was aware of the plaintiff’s PREA requests or claims and was personally involved in responding to them (or not responding to them).
