🚨🚔 Professional Standards & Accountability
“Do Not Meet the Standard - Become the Standard”

[Dominick Izzo @CopTalkLIVE]

Over the last several months, I have been honored to receive countless calls and messages from active police officers seeking guidance, support, and insight on how to navigate disciplinary actions, retaliation, political pressure, and targeting from within their own agencies.

I know all too well the stress and isolation that command staff can place on officers — whether from personality conflicts, internal politics, public pressure, or administrative agendas. And I know what it feels like when those crosshairs are placed on you and you feel completely alone.

I will no longer sit back and watch professional officers go through that alone.

Today, I am proud to announce:

THE OFFICER SHIELD INITIATIVE

The Officer Shield Initiative exists to protect professional policing standards by standing beside officers who face unfair, retaliatory, or inconsistent treatment within their agencies through independent analysis, strategic advocacy, accountability, and objective review.

Through The Officer Shield Initiative, I will provide:
• Independent standards analysis
• Strategic officer advocacy
• Bodycam and incident review
• Leadership and command mediation
• Attorney coordination
• Public standards advocacy and media analysis when appropriate

Not every officer is right.
But every officer deserves fairness, consistency, and professional standards.

If you are a professional officer facing internal targeting, retaliation, inconsistent discipline, or political pressure, you do not have to stand alone.

I will fight for professional standards.
I will fight for fairness.
And I will not abandon you.

On August 4, 2021, the Atlanta Police Department announced that its Office of Professional Standards had completed its expedited investigation. The investigation concluded that Sgt. Marc Theodule violated department policy and acted outside Atlanta Police Department standards and training. As a result, Chief Rodney Bryant approved the termination of Sgt. Theodule's employment effective August 2, 2021.

The same investigation found that Officer Bridget Citizen did not violate the department's Duty to Intervene policy. According to the department, the kick was a single act that immediately ceased, and investigators determined that Officer Citizen reported the incident to a supervisor shortly afterward. She was returned to full duty.

"See my fists? They're getting ready to f*** you up."

Unarmed and mentally ill, Kelly Thomas was beaten for nearly 10 mins as officers crushed him. An officer bragged he smashed Kelly’s face “to hell.” Toxicology showed zero drugs. Kelly died five days later.

@EricLDaugh how does this lower the price of gas?

If I criticize small females, I have to criticize small males. God forbid he ever finds himself going hands on with an extremely larger combatant, he will be justified in escalating force all because Wichita police chose him over the other applicants. Command presence is real, necessary and so is the size and imposing look that is supposed to come along with it. This is not fair to this man or the public.

Cops believe they are above the law. It’s why they break the same laws they arrest ppl for, why they flash their badge when pulled over, and why they react with hostility when their judgment is questioned. They are a plague on society who protect and serve their master, not you.

@GuntherEagleman So does @PolkCoSheriff

[Dominick Izzo @CopTalkLIVE]

@stinkfingeraz @PoliceThePolic1 And they get paid to do it, have more perks than an average citizen will ever have, and most of them are looking for the exact difficult situations you think they are stressing over. They WANT what you described and they capitalize on it for public sympathy.

Prairie Village Police Department another department who, for whatever reason, decided to hire the smallest possible female to do a job that will always require her to have the help from male back up officers.

"I was in great fear for my safety" coming to your police department, soon!

[Dominick Izzo @CopTalkLIVE]

@PoliceThePolic1 Never speak to the police, for any reason, EVER. Fish only get caught when they open their mouths. And even if you are innocent, the cops will throw the hook in once you do.

The profession has no standards anymore.

Imagine viewing this photo and then making the conscious decision to post it online.

Overweight Chief and two disheveled new hires.

The only thing even remotely close to the once thought of “para-military” standards of our Nation’s elite members of the United States Military is the rank titles that they share. This is embarrassing.

When he trips and falls on duty and gets injured, who pays?

When he has a cardiac episode from walking up a flight of stairs, who pays?

When he’s so exhausted, he goes right to deadly force, who pays?

Grand Island Police made sure to hire the smallest female they could find.

[Dominick Izzo @CopTalkLIVE]

@DuhItsKryssi Agreed. The minimum age needs to be 30 for males.

[Dominick Izzo @CopTalkLIVE]

@PoliceThePolic1 Try being a cop who is working on exposing the corruption within and finding out that no agency wants to help.

[Dominick Izzo @CopTalkLIVE]

@BigPopz72 More proof females should not be cops.

[Dominick Izzo @CopTalkLIVE]

@TheRealGalpin @TMZ Time to ask why @PolkCoSheriff doesn’t have body cameras on his deputies.

[Dominick Izzo @CopTalkLIVE]

@HarrisCountyDAO @TAR13ASON @HoustonRockets @SeanTeareHCDAO Can you advise why your office charged this deputy with murder, yet she still has her full authority as well as is currently still working for the sheriff’s office, with full police powers when the media was told she was fired?
