Oakland Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong fired by mayor over misconduct scandal
OAKLAND — Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao fired embattled Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong on Wednesday amid a misconduct scandal that engulfed the department and ensured its continued federal oversight.
“It is clear to me that there are systemic issues the city needs to address and that we cannot simply write them off as mistakes,” Thao said at the news conference. Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao announces the firing of Oakland police Chief LeRonne Armstrong during a press conference at City Hall in Oakland, Calif., on Wednesday, Feb. 15, 2023. Armstrong was placed on leave last month amid a misconduct scandal within his department.
Later, he gave statements to the firm’s investigators that contradicted those of his subordinate officers, who said the chief had been kept abreast of an investigation into the elevator incident. Darren Allison, an assistant police chief, will serve in Armstrong’s stead as the police commission searches for a full-time replacement.
