Trooper Blows The Whistle On Whole Department!

Описание: In an exclusive interview with Eyewitness News, West Virginia State Police Corporal Joseph Comer revealed that he was the author of an anonymous letter that sparked an investigation into the agency. Comer, an 18-year veteran trooper, said that he tried working with the system to address his concerns, but nothing was being done. He turned to the anonymous letter, which triggered a months-long investigation into the State Police and the conduct of some of its highest-ranking officers. The investigation led to the resignation of former State Police Superintendent Jan Cahill and the transfer of two high-ranking officers.

This is not the first time the West Virginia State Police has faced scandal. In 2019, several State Police cadets were fired for giving a Nazi salute in a class photo. In 2018, a trooper was suspended after he was caught on camera using excessive force during an arrest. In 2016, an investigation found that State Police were using excessive force, and the agency was criticized for failing to hold troopers accountable for their actions. The recent investigation into the agency has shed light on the culture of the State Police and the need for change.

Governor Jim Justice said that if the system designed to protect troopers like Comer failed, that's yet another black eye for the agency. However, Comer believes that there are still people within the agency who can turn things around. "For Col. Chambers, he's got quite a selection of wonderful men and women that are more than capable of doing this job and cleaning this mess up and putting integrity back into the agency," Comer said. Justice said he is pleased with the pace of the inquiry and while looking for wrongdoing which must be addressed, reminded that the majority of troopers and the agency's civilian workers perform their duties honorably and are committed to serving and protecting every West Virginian.
