Houston Police Chief Troy Finner gave a brief update on the more than 250,000 suspended incident reports being investigated due to a 'lack of personnel' code.
New information has been revealed in the ongoing probe of more than a quarter million criminal incidents which were never investigated by the Houston Police Department.That update came in a two-hour, closed door, "no cameras" conversation between Chief Troy Finner and reporters from across the City.
Finner repeated the previous assertion that use of the cryptic code "suspended - lack of personnel" pre-dated his appointment as Chief by at least six years and once he became aware of it in November 2021, he ordered it discontinued.Pressed by reporters repeatedly on exactly why he didn't follow up more effectively to insure his mandate was followed, Finner responded by saying he counted on command subordinates to get it done.
