The Oakland Police Department has lost its seventh head of police in as many years over the alleged cover-up of an officer’s misconduct
FILE - Oakland police chief Leronne Armstrong speaks during a press conference outside City Hall in Oakland, Calif., on Aug. 30, 2022. The Oakland Police Department lost its seventh head of police in as many years on Wednesday, Feb. 15, 2023, over the alleged coverup of an officer's misconduct in a scandal that threatens to extend two decades of federal oversight, the longest of any police department in the country.
Thao, who took office in January, said she wants to be confident that the police chief in the city of 400,000 people will be effective “in making improvements that can be recognized by the federal monitor, the federal court and the people of Oakland.” Thao placed Armstrong on paid administrative leave last month to review investigations by the department’s federal monitor that found the police chief responsible for gross dereliction of duty.
