Huerta Police Report released.

WTVD reports the DPD has released the report from Professional Standards. Here is the report.

Professional Standards makes clear that Officer Samuel Duncan did not search Huerta fully. Duncan was a new officer and had to be told by another officer before transporting Huerta that Huerta was trying to get out of the handcuffs. Duncan did not activate the in car video system when he was transporting Huerta. The Professional Standards report also says that Duncan was not advised that Huerta had threatened suicide. What we had was a new officer who did not get all the information the DPD had. Duncan failed to use the tools he had, the in car video and good police practices. That is he did not do a very good search. The DPD failed to communicate all the information they had to Duncan. A shared failure.
