Judge William Orrick stated, "OPD leadership just wanted to sweep these issues under the rug because they liked the officers involved or wanted to conceal this from the monitor and the court."
The mishandled discipline cases led OPD's federal monitor to determine that the department isn't complying with a key part of its reform program, signaling serious accountability issues.
In a case involving Detective Phong Tran, independent investigators found that the internal affairs investigation concluded improperly, highlighting systemic failures within the OPD.
Federal oversight of OPD is necessary as recent leadership breakdowns indicate a troubling lack of accountability in addressing misconduct among officers.
