The Turney decision

April 16, 2004

10-month suspension: Manager of Safety Al LaCabe said in a statement issued with his decision: "The 'efficiency and safety' rule requires, among other things, that a police officer utilize good judgment and tactics in making decisions in his or her police work. . . . I find that Officer Turney violated this rule.

By immediately forcing a confrontation with Mr. Childs, Officer Turney exposed himself and others to immediate risk of harm, placing Mr. Childs only six to seven feet away from Officer Turney and creating a likely deadly force situation."
