Скачать или смотреть Kissimmee police respond to grand jury presentment claiming department has "culture of silence"

In a news conference on Thursday, Orange-Osceola State Attorney Andrew Bain shared details of a grand jury’s findings and recommendations for the Kissimmee Police Department following a use-of-force investigation involving a former police officer.

“The grand jury found that the Kissimmee Police Department fosters a culture of silence where officer misconduct is not only not reported, but accepted, said Williams. “Evidence and testimony presented to the grand jury showed officers failed to report (Andrew) Baseggio’s excessive use of force, which went on for several minutes without intervention from two other officers who were on the scene.”

The police department is set to respond to the accusations and reaffirm its commitment to "integrity, accountability, and public trust within the Police Department."
