The various oversight bodies that monitor for police misconduct all agree that sustained Rule 14 violations should automatically trigger an officer’s firing.Of the more than 100 officers who violated Rule 14, several continue to work as beat officers and detectives, according to the IG. Rule 14 is underenforced in part because of gaps in policies and procedures, but also because of case-by-case decisions, Witzburg said in a livestream detailing the 40-page report Thursday.described cases in which CPD members violated Rule 14 but weren’t separated from the department. Other case studies described Rule 14 violations not being pursued after officers were found to have lied and Rule 14 violations being expunged from officers’ disciplinary histories.
The departments cannot commit to firing Rule 14 violators because officers have rights to due process guaranteed by collective bargaining agreements that prohibit predetermining discipline without considering the specific circumstances of each case, according to responses affixed to the report.
