D.O.J. Document Dump

Everyone just got a letter from the Department in their e-mail. The Department of Justice just got thousands, tens-of-thousands, maybe more of documents so they can "evaluate" the CPD. Among the documents:

• A list of internal complaints of misconduct against CPD employees, including the employee’s name, date, type(s) of misconduct alleged, name of employee, and any tracking or identifying number of signifier.
  
  A list of civilian complaints of misconduct against CPD employees, including the employee’s name, date, type(s) of misconduct alleged, name of employee, and any tracking or identifying number or signifier.
  
  A list of all current or former CPD employees recommended for termination or other disciplinary or corrective action, the reason for the recommended disciplinary or corrective action, whether disciplinary or corrective action was imposed, and the nature and duration of any discipline or corrective action imposed.
  
  A list of each incident in which a CPD employee used force, including the report number or other tracking number or signifier, date of the use of force incident, district in which the incident took place, type(s) of force used in the incident, and any injuries to CPD employees and/or members of the public.
  
  A list of incidents in which CPD officers were involved that resulted in injuries to suspects, members of the public, and police officers, including report number or other tracking number or signifier, and date.

That pretty much sounds like all CR files, SPAR files, TRR's and associated files like Taser usage and IOD's.

It certainly would be interesting if someone from the D.O.J. subpoenaed "merit" lists and tried to determine how certain people "earned" a promotion out-of-rank order.

It would be even more interesting to see if the D.O.J. could cross-reference those "merit" people with CR files...and assorted lawsuits at the State and Federal levels.
