Police Chief Anthony Mata, flanked by other department leaders and San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo, announced on Wednesday changes to department policy that will offer more oversight.
It comes after a series of embarrassing scandals involving SJPD officers, including a DUI crash, a fatal drug overdose, and an officer who touched himself while on duty.
"You will not see excuses for inexcusable conduct. You will see action and the same determination this department has shown to prove itself," said Mata. Mata said SJPD will be rolling out an app for officers who are not comfortable reaching out for help in person. Finally, there will be universal, department-wide wellness and mental health check-ins.
