'An apology cannot take back the oversight' | Interim police chief apologizes for missteps taken during investigation involving Raul Meza

The department acknowledged how it mishandled the evidence on Thursday, but now Interim Chief Robin Henderson has issued a formal apology, stating: State law prohibits the Chief from formally disciplining any officers for acts that occur more than 180 days prior to the time that discipline could be issued. Due to this reason, the officer did not receive formal discipline.

APD told the Defenders they have closed their inquiry into the matter, explaining,"The detective received the information and did not follow up. At the time the information was received, the detective was working a special assignment related to the protests of 2020."
