A local group has called for HPD Chief Troy Finner to resign after he announced more than 250,000 criminal cases were suspended due to a 'lack of personnel' code.

Amid the controversy surrounding the Houston Police Department's suspension of thousands of sexual assault cases, We The People Organize has called for the resignation of Chief Troy Finner.

Yet it appears Chief Finner failed to issue a Department Circular prohibiting such a Code that should have been distributed throughout the department in every division. The absence of an official Department Circular to formally abolish the Code raises concerns. The lack of such communication throughout every division of HPD suggests a lack of leadership and incompetence that have brought embarrassment and disgrace on the department that potentially will cause low morale within the department.
