More than a dozen letters said to be from police officers and employees allege that there is rampant racism and mistreatment inside the Columbus Police Department.
The release of the letters comes a year after the Ohio department started its own investigation and assessment following similar concerns in 2018.
The letters were obtained by a group of faith leaders in Columbus who say they have been fielding complaints from various police officers throughout the past year. Sister Barbara Kane, a member of the Dominican Sisters of Peace, was one of those faith leaders involved with the release of the letters which were published in the Columbus Free Press on Tuesday.
“I can truthfully say that the unfairness in punishment, along with favoritism, racism, and nepotism are at an all-time high here at CPD," wrote an anonymous writer in one letter who claims that they have been working for the department for 30 years.
