'We have a pervasive problem': Rochester Police Chief La'Ron Singletary relieved of duty immediately, following Daniel Prude's death
Singletary and his command staff announced last week that they were retiring or resigning their command positions. The resignations were to be effective Sept. 29.
Warren outlined a series of measures Monday, saying that a preliminary review by Deputy Mayor James Smith had provided the groundwork for the measures. The Prude family lawyer requested video in the case back in April but the city did not fulfill the demand until August. New York state Attorney General Letitia James is investigating and has said she will impanel a grand jury. Warren on Monday added requests for the U.S. Attorney General's Office and the Department of Justice top get involved.
