Former GWPD officers internally reported gun safety violations, insufficient training and workplace culture concerns to HR and officials for more than a year — claims they said officials didn’t take seriously until The Hatchet published their allegations.

GWPD Chief James Tate is on leave effective Friday, after officials hired a firm to look into the department’s arming rollout. The two announcements follow reports from former GWPD officers last month of gun safety violations and insufficient training

In 1986, President Elliott announced GW wouldn’t divest from companies tied to South Africa after extensive talks with community members

Now, students demand divestment from Israeli-linked firms. But, the decision was made privately, without consultation of faculty and students

GWPD began the controversial rollout of its plan to arm some officers last year.

Former officers now say GWPD initially failed to register guns that the force’s top two officers carried and lacked rigorous firearm training to prepare officers for major emergencies.

Former GW Police Department officers said the yearlong rollout of the controversial plan to arm some police officers was riddled with safety violations that went undisclosed to the community https://t.co/QHZXHpETsi
