Houston Mayor John Whitmire takes decisive action by launching an Independent Review Committee to investigate the unsettling case of 264,000 police reports coded 'lack of personnel,' unraveling a shocking mystery within the city's law enforcement.
264,000 police reports never seeing the light of day is the biggest debacle Mayor John Whitmire has faced in his first 11 weeks in office. He says it's now his top priority."I want Houstonians to know we are doing everything possible to reveal to them the full extent of the circumstances who knew what and when," Whitmire said.
"The craziness is, it's been used thousands and thousands of times, and you would think the rank and file would create chatter. Perhaps even the union, perhaps even the legislature, city officials, how about the mayor?" Whitmire said.
