Former Oakland Police Chief LaRonne Armstrong will 'likely' initiate an appeal regarding his dismissal, a spokesperson for Armstrong said on Monday.
Police Chief LaRonne Armstrong will "likely" initiate an appeal regarding his dismissal, a spokesperson for Armstrong said on Monday.
"I did my job and I did it well," he said in a statement on Friday, adding that he nearly brought an end to about 20 years of federal oversight of the department. "Chief Armstrong's legal team will likely initiate the appeal process this week to address Mayor Sheng Thao's wrongful and retaliatory decision to terminate him," said Singer.
Armstrong believes Thao should have asked tough questions about the report alleging misconduct by the police sergeant and the investigation by the department's internal affairs unit.
