Both reports are critical of Phoenix PD's handling of internal investigations
PHOENIX — ABC15 Investigators have just received the first two police monitoring reports created by the City of Phoenix's Office of Accountability and Transparency.
Both reports are extremely critical of the Phoenix Police Department's handling of two internal affairs investigations. In both cases, the OAT reports criticized Phoenix police investigators for insufficient questioning of their own officers. " am glad that the City of Phoenix’s Office of Transparency and Accountability is acknowledging the severity of Arthur Ash’s injuries and is acknowledging the City could have liability for its officer’s misconduct," said Ash's attorney Paul King."The officer’s own body camera footage demonstrates that Arthur Ash did nothing threatening towards the officer."
Phoenix's Interim Police Chief Michael Sullivan issued a statement saying the monitoring reports are"insightful" and"valuable." He added he was dedicated to fostering"a culture of continuous improvement" within the department. In a letter to the city manager, Smith said he was resigning because recent events led him to believe the OAT did not have the independence needed to provide civilian oversight of the Phoenix Police Department.
