POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY
What standards would your office use to determine when to prosecute a police officer who engages in misconduct?
CONWAY:
As an Assistant States Attorney, I prosecuted three police officers so I have experience in navigating the process between the administrative and criminal processes. If a police officer can be proved guilty beyond reasonable doubt, we will charge and prosecute them as we would anyone else.
FIORETTI:
I fail to see the rationale for an independent prosecutor for “all” officer involved shootings. While some wish to make it so, police officers are not the enemy. Police officer involved shootings will be handled in my Administration as every other case-according to the facts and the law. Nothing else.
FOXX:
Aprosecuted. Due to the inherent conflict of interest in prosecuting police officers that the office works closely with, a special prosecutor should be the one to objectively prosecute police officers in police-involved shooting cases. Furthermore, we have to make sure that in any case the public understands no one is above the law especially in cases that involved with those of us who have swore to protect and serve.
