A pair of Phoenix police commanders are under investigation because of an ABC15 report that broadcast secret recordings of multiple high-level officials.
The department said there has been more interest in working for Phoenix police in both recruit and lateral transfers since the city voted to increase officer pay.
City Manager Jeff Barton declined to answer questions on Wednesday about a series of secret recordings that reveal Phoenix top cops saying the police chief misled the public and city council about her knowledge of a case involving falsely-charged protesters.
The Phoenix city manager was warned by a top Phoenix police official that Chief Jeri Williams and Executive Assistant Chief Mike Kurtenbach were misleading the public and city council about their role in a massive scandal involving falsely-charged protesters.
