Raleigh Officers Disciplined For Dismantling Homeless Camp

print friendly

RALEIGH, N.C. — An internal investigation at the Raleigh Police Department is complete, following an incident on March 30.

The review involved officers who destroyed an illegal homeless camp. A complaint was filed because the officers cut-up tents and tarps.

Raleigh police admit the officers did not handle the situation in the best way. They say appropriate disciplinary action was taken.

The department is now working on a new policy on how to handle the camps, which will include officer training.

A captain at the department is also joining the city's action plan to end homelessness all together.
