Oakland Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong continued his push to win back his job Sunday — voicing plans to formally request being reinstated this week after spending more than two weeks on administrative leave.
The January independent report, which was compiled by an outside law firm and released by a federal judge, found “systemic deficiencies” in how the Oakland Police Department investigates its own officers when they are accused of misconduct. Among them were deep concerns about Armstrong’s handling of a police sergeant’s misconduct case.
Appearing at a press conference Sunday beside leaders of the NAACP’s Oakland branch, Armstrong continued to assert he was the right person to lead the Oakland Police Department. He claimed — without offering supporting evidence — that his review of 60 pages of supporting documents in the matter shows that “the federal monitor’s conclusion about me is not supported by evidence.
