15 officers have been reassigned over sustained accusations of misrepresentation.
The submission of 15 officers to the U.S. Attorney for "misrepresentation of facts" caused friction with the police union, and a "lack of confidence" vote
In this process, each affected officer's assignment will be evaluated by an internal committee that the city says is made up of sworn officers of diverse ranks and roles.
