The Department of Justice found multiple issues with how Phoenix disciplines police officers. “PhxPD affords officers multiple opportunities to challenge findings of misconduct or negotiate discipline,” according to the DOJ’s findings report. The report continues, “PhxPD does not track how often findings are changed as a result of officers’ repeated opportunities to influence investigations and their outcomes. But we found that these opportunities, which exceed what the law requires, have led to overturning findings or downgrading discipline, even where the underlying factual findings have not changed.”
