Open Letter from Chief Mitchell
The incident that occurred at the Courtyards on the morning of May 21 has created distress and anguish among the students affected and within our broader community. Longstanding UMPD policy automatically requires an internal investigation in any case that involves the deployment of pepper spray. That review process, currently underway, is governed by clear procedures and could take up to 30 days to complete. When this administrative investigation is complete, the findings and video from the body cameras worn by officers during the incident will be released. As we prepare for release, protecting the privacy of minors and students involved is a preeminent consideration. The question of the appropriateness of the use of pepper spray will not be resolved until the conclusion of the full investigation, and so I must withhold specific comment at this time. The deployment of pepper spray is a rare occurrence, just ten times in the last five years.
