Question from a citizen in the audience

Question: "Even one case of police misconduct is one too many. I thank God that the vast majority of officers are good. What can you do about police misconduct?"

Chief McClelland: We have a more transparent organization. We have more ways to file complaints such as LULAC, NAACP, online, by mail, you can even file a complaint from jail. We don't have a special place to hire officers; they come from society. We have one of the most rigorous recruiting standards and we have not watered it down. We have the best training in the nation. We have to make sure supervisors are providing leadership to the younger officers. I am accountable if someone does something egregious.
