California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta has launched a civil rights investigation into the Antioch Police Department. Reports detail bigoted messages
Eight months after The Times revealed racist texts by Torrance police officers, city officials have done little to hold them accountable.
Antioch Police Chief Steven Ford on Wednesday pledged his “full cooperation” with the state investigation. Ford also released a list of promises to establish policies to ensure “bias-free policing,” train officers in cultural sensitivity and improve documentation of use-of-force incidents. A department spokeswoman declined to say how many officers had been implicated in the scandal or suspended as a result. According to the East Bay Times, eight current and former officers are subject to a criminal investigation that involves the FBI, and a dozen others have been placed on administrative leave.
