Antioch Police Chief Steven Ford says he is 'somewhat relieved' the state's justice department is launching its own investigation into APD amid an alleged racist texting scandal.
"They are the change agents of what's forth coming. They are going to be the practitioners of the new framework that we have forthcoming," says Ford.
"It can't just be a certain segment of the white community that feels that they can have a relationship with the police department," says Thorpe. "Everybody has the right to feel comfortable with their police department, particularly since everybody pays their fair share of taxes here to pay for the police department."
