Obama Attorney General Coming To Town To Recognize IMPD For Officer Safety And Wellness

Given the racial divisions the Justice Department has deliberately fostered throughout President Barack Obama's two terms in office, a visit by the Attorney General to praise the efforts of our local police department must be met with a bit of skepticism. The Star is reporting that Loretta Lynch will visit Indianapolis on Wednesday and tour IMPD's training academy and the East District police headquarters located in that infamous Regional Operations Center that cost Indianapolis taxpayers dearly as part of kickback scheme to former Mayor Greg Ballard's campaign contributors.

IMPD signed on to support President Obama's 21st Century Policing during the prior administration when then-Public Safety Director Troy Riggs and former IMPD Chief Rick Hite traveled to the White House for that purpose. One of pillars of the Obama's 21st Century Policing rests on greater transparency, which has never been one of the department's strengths. Lynch's visit will not be highlighting transparency. She's here to call attention to IMPD's efforts at officer safety and wellness. "U.S. Attorney Josh J. Minkler said IMPD was chosen because of its award-winning Office of Professional Development and Police Wellness," The Star reports. Does the department's officer wellness program include badgering whistle blowers within the department and threatening their careers?
