“We are deeply disappointed and very heartbroken,” a family member said of a lack of criminal charges in the death of Carlos Adrian Ingram Lopez while he was detained by police.
Officers are leaving the department at nearly twice the usual rate and starting pay at TPD is more than 13% below market value, Tucson Police Chief Chris Magnus says.
Well before Floyd’s murder in May 2020, Tucson was among America’s big-city departments to embrace “progressive policing.” It had launched programs to get nonviolent drug dealers and homeless people services, rather than incarcerate them, and new training to teach officers to de-escalate difficult and dangerous situations.
