Houston Mayor John Whitmire on Thursday responded to claims that the former Houston Police Department Chief Troy Finner was forced out of the department.
Finner, who told the Houston Chronicle that he was “pushed out” of the department, made the claims after as HPD Chief had said 264,000 incident reports, including more than 4,000 sexual assault reports, were suspended due to a “lack of personnel.” The reports dating back to 2016.
Finner said he knew about the cases being suspended back in 2021 and directed that it stop being used.
However, an internal document KPRC 2 Investigates obtained, showed Finner was looped in about the code being used by HPD in cases as far back as 2018.
HPD launched an internal affairs investigation but days after the closed investigation was reopened, Finner announced his retirement.

Come on Troy. You had an easy job for 30yrs. Let it go. 😊

@kellyreilly7782 2 месяца назад

Now he wants to talk and tell everyone he was forced to retire instead of telling the truth about all the mishandled and dismissed evidence the Houston police department did not take care of? The City of Houston needs to sweep clean that whole department and give the city of Houston a police force that they can be proud of!!! Way too many situations and things not handled right for many years!!!

The Mayor was going to fire him anyway like he did the Fire Chief Like the Mayor said I want my own people in place

@soufwesthoustontx 2 месяца назад

Who cares if he was forced out. He wasn't transparent and showed no leadership when he shifted the blame to other people.

@Lisa-f5v4r 2 месяца назад

Finner should be behind bars.

@Sandy-dd5jz 2 месяца назад

Everybody knows that !! He was force to quit

@dps6198 2 месяца назад

IF you don't want to be forced out then don't take the top job. Every time a new mayor is elected he has the right to choose his fire chief police chief and the heads of every other department. A man that I went to high school was fire chief for a short time his last name is Kennelly and he was appointed fire chief I don't remember the circumstances but it was a short-term appointment because as soon as a new mayor was elected he was out..

Anytime you're in a management role they will use you as a scapegoat whether you're at fault or not. The public has no idea and the unions will ride whatever train that favor them.

In corporate America when you are going to get fired, they give you the option to retire in certain situations so that you can get your severance pay and retirement benefits. But as the leader of THAT cover up, he needed to be replaced

Whitmire should have fired him. He showed weakness

@TheRealJBMcMunn 2 месяца назад

It's usually beneficial to the employer if the employee quits. That way the employee can't sue for being fired. Of course the employee could sue for being forced to quit but that is an uphill struggle.

He's just mad they are uncovering his mistakes, and wants to save face. Good on the mayor trying to clean up the mess from the previous administrations.

@rook9309 2 месяца назад

Given an ultimatum to either be let go or resign is what I’d guess. So choose the latter. And I’m not saying everything is 100% Finner’s fault as if he had to do everything himself. You don’t have to do everything you just have to make sure it’s getting handled, that’s how positions of authority work. If you don’t make sure it’s done someone else higher up will pull strings and make sure something is done.✅
