In a letter to Mayor Whitmire and Chief Finner, the Houston Police Officers' Union is requesting the chief not be involved in the investigation due to 'an inherent conflict of interest.'
After an independent panel was tasked to review the Houston Police Department's handling of more than 261,000 cases suspended due to lack of staff, Chief Troy Finner is being asked not to be part of that investigation.
Whitmire has vowed to personally report the panel's findings to Houstonians rather than information funneling through HPD. Finner has previously stated that about 130 investigators have reviewed more than 3000 reports and visited 752 homes since he first announced the problem.
