Protesters Launch Sit-In to Demand NPD Release Use-of-Force Records

NORFOLK

As darkness fell on the grassy knoll behind Norfolk City Hall Monday evening (June 29), a small group of protesters issued a demand for sunlight on the police department’s use-of-force records.

NPD officials noted that they destroyed use of force reports from 2010 to 2014 because the state’s record retention law allowed them to destroy the records.

Protester Jackie Hortan aka “Angie Day” of Underground 1865 told this reporter, “It is imperative that the Norfolk Police Department release these reports and be transparent with the citizens.

By not releasing the reports, you subject the city to ‘no peace.

Norfolk mayor Kenny Alexander and several member of city council are in favor of having the reports released to the public.
