The report’s findings make it less likely that Judge William Orrick will lift the department’s court-mandated oversight, which has lasted two decades.
OAKLAND — The long, fraught journey taken by the Oakland Police Department tomay once again be hitting a snag after the latest federal report found additional shortcomings in the department’s ability to police itself.
“Interim Chief Allison has done a commendable job in the daily operations and administration of the Department,” states the report, compiled by federal monitor Robert Warshaw. “The Department, with the support of the City structure, must continue to address and resolve issues that are still of concern.”
It’s unclear who this involved, when it took place or precisely what kind of relationship played out between the two parties. Whatever the case, the officer in question was found not to be credible in interview statements to the internal investigator. Another task that OPD still hasn’t completed is establishing consistent levels of discipline for all officers, and not letting officers evade punishment if they’re well-connected or well-liked within the department.
