“Antisemitism and bigotry are reprehensible and have no place in our community or our police department. We have zero tolerance for hateful and dangerous rhetoric directed at our Jewish communities. This type of hate speech is a horrible example of explicit bias in our police force. We cannot emphasize strongly enough that discrimination of any kind, against anyone, simply will not be tolerated.
We are mandating cultural competency training for all employees in the Department of Public Safety, including Officer Quran, in the City of Cleveland. We will continue working with Human Resources and Ethics to conduct social media training and employee background checks for the Cleveland Division of Police.
Under the circumstances, these are the steps that we can take as a city to reinforce our values and expectations of all employees and help the community heal. We fully expect our police officers—and all who serve the public across the city—to provide the highest levels of professionalism and respect to all citizens.
