CLEVELAND – The Cleveland Police Patrolmen’s Association released the findings of a review of the officers involved in the shooting that killed Tamir Rice in 2014.
The review was impaneled by Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams at Mayor Frank Jackson’s request to investigate the officers’ conduct and found that the two officers directly involved in the shooting – Timothy Loehmann and Frank Garmback – did not violate department rules.
The committee assigned to the review consisted of police command staff, civilians and police officers.
The unanimous report states that neither Garmback nor Loehmann violated apparent rule or policies and their actions were consistent with training.
Two dispatchers – Constance Hollinger and Beth Mandl – were investigated for their roles on Nov. 22, 2014. Hollinger “may have violated” the department’s call taking procedure by failing to answer the 911 call with, “911, what’s your emergency?”
The report also says Hollinger did not record an age from the caller, who stated the suspect may be a juvenile, nor did she provide a complete description of the weapon Rice had, which the caller advised could be fake.
The review found no violations committed by Mandl.
