PHOENIX — Internal investigations of recent incidents involving police force were found to be"not thorough" enough, according to an office providing independent oversight for the Phoenix Police Department. released four new reports this week detailing its review of investigations conducted by Phoenix police into violent incidents involving its officers.
One of the incidents reviewed by OAT involved a suspect who was injured by a police dog in August 2023. The suspect was ordered to exit a building or police would release a K-9 on them. The police department's review of the bite incident determined the officer had acted within policy. But the OAT concluded that a full-scale investigation by the Professional Standards Bureau should have been conducted to address the rationale for using the canine under these circumstances.
Based on its review, the OAT concluded police investigators should have fully explored the involved officer’s decision-making process by asking more follow-up questions. Furthermore, the OAT thinks the police department should provide written analysis explaining their investigative findings.with the intention of conducting independent investigations into police conduct.
