Two recent reports from the city’s accountability office criticize the thoroughness of internal investigations conducted by Phoenix police.
PHOENIX — Internal investigations of recent incidents involving police force were found to be “not thorough” enough, according to an office providing independent oversight for the Phoenix Police Department.
The Office of Accountability and Transparency released four new reports this week detailing its review of investigations conducted by Phoenix police into violent incidents involving its officers.
Two of the reports concluded Phoenix police could have done a better job and provided a list of recommendations.
“OAT’s conclusion following review is that the investigation was not thorough and complete,” one of the reports state.
The Office of Accountability & Transparency (OAT) has released 4 new monitoring reports tied to cases involving @PhoenixPolice from 2022 & 2023. OAT monitors investigations within PPD & provides recommendations for improvement as needed. Full reports: https://t.co/5YURSyz6jB
