The Oakland Police Commission will meet Wednesday to discuss possible discipline of Chief LeRonne Armstrong.
OAKLAND — Weeks after the city’s new mayor placed Oakland Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong on paid administrative leave, she has yet to decide whether he’ll keep a job he’s been vigorously and very publicly fighting to defend.
In past meetings, the commissioners have expressed frustration that they have not been swiftly provided documents that would reveal more about Armstrong’s role in the misconduct scandal — evidence that Thao has promised the public will inform her next step. The incident at the center of the report involves Sgt. Michael Chung, who had driven an OPD-issued vehicle in a 2021 hit-and-run with a parked car and about a year later fired his service weapon in a department elevator.
“Chief Armstrong’s stated lack of awareness of the facts of the case lacks credibility as much as it suggests a lack of attention to the process under his ultimate command,” the report states.
