Overview
- Interim Chief Jeffrey Carroll said Tuesday the 13 received notices of proposed termination and were placed on administrative leave, adding that no one has been fired.
- Assistant Chief LaShay Makal and Second District Commander Tatjana Savoy are among those sidelined, according to an MPD spokesman, with several other senior officials already off duty.
- Justice Department and House Oversight reviews found widespread misclassification of reports that understated crime, though prosecutors did not bring criminal cases.
- House Oversight Chairman James Comer is pressing for MPD’s internal report and all related records as the department says the internal affairs case will not be released publicly.
- MPD policy bars supervisors from changing an officer’s crime classification, which makes alleged downgrades of serious offenses central to the case and could drive protracted appeals and staffing gaps.
