“The mishandling of victims’ cases has tarnished HPD’s reputation, eroding the trust and confidence of the public and dedicated officers, especially patrol officers place in their leader,” Bui wrote. “It is our firm belief that Chief Finner must step down from his role as Chief of the Houston Police Department. Such a change is crucial for HPD to begin the essential process of rebuilding trust with the citizens of Houston and to build morale with officers in the police department.
