A new report reaches a scathing conclusion: the Oakland Police Department, it says, faces “very serious questions about its capacity to police itself.”
OAKLAND — Oakland police officers continue to face consequences for their role in a misconduct scandal that, according to a new report on Thursday, has ensured the department won’t get out from under the watchful eye of a federal monitor any time soon.
“Deep into the sustainability period, issues embedded in the history of the organization… have reappeared,” concludes the report, adding that “despite unquestionable progress” in complying with the tasks as written out, a “myriad of cultural deficiencies linger.” That sergeant, Michael Chung, remains on paid administrative leave for committing the hit-and-run and later covering up an incident where he fired his service weapon in an OPD building elevator.
Lt. Omar Daza-Quiroz, who began the internal investigation of Chung’s hit-and-run, returned to work last month after previously being placed on leave, a police spokesperson said Thursday. In reversing his previous finding, Warshaw notes in the report a survey that found 57% of officers disagreed with the notion that the OPD’s disciplinary process is fair.
Armstrong has maintained his innocence and repeatedly claimed that Thao was carrying out Warshaw’s bidding when she placed him on leave, and subsequently dismissed him.
