Office of Accountability and Transparency director to investigate complaints against Phoenix PD

The Phoenix Police Department is under scrutiny as federal investigators are looking into claims of civil rights violations and abuse of power. Now, a new set of eyes will be on the department – Roger Smith, director of the new Office of Accountability and Transparency (OAT). He says his office has the power to start investigations and monitor the department’s Professional Standards Bureau investigations. "Officer-involved shootings are one, deaths in custody another, and serious injury in the custody of police, that’s a third."
