Investigations launched in police shooting
Four investigations were launched by the fatal shooting of Alfred Pope Tuesday morning by Cincinnati police:
• Cincinnati Police homicide unit: Responds to the scene and investigates for criminal violations.
• Hamilton County prosecutor: Reviews findings of the homicide investigation and determines if a crime was committed by the officer.
• Cincinnati Police Internal Investigations Section: Responds to the scene, reviews the other investigations and looks for policy and procedural violations.
• Cincinnati Office of Municipal Investigations: Required by city law to begin an immediate investigation at the scene of all intentional police shootings.
Two other investigations may occur:
• Cincinnati Citizens Police Review Panel: Has the option of reviewing other investigations for thoroughness and accuracy after they are complete.
• U.S. Department of Justice: Conducts its own probe for criminal violations in some cases, including the fatal shootings of Lorenzo Collins in 1997 and Michael Carpenter in 1999. The FBI completes a preliminary investigation and presents the findings to the Justice Department, which determines if a full-scale investigation is needed.
