Will the DOJ probe APD morale?

Is there a correlation between low police force morale and a propensity to overreact in potentially violent situations?

There is, and that's why the DOJ needs to investigate and report upon morale in the APD.

Will every cop be surveyed?  Will every cop have the opportunity to say what they think needs to be said about the conduct and competence of their leadership, without fear of retribution and retaliation?  Will every cop know their voice has been counted?  Will the DOJ the opinions of the cops they're investigating?

Likely, no.  It would be the first time ever.

Statistically identical to the likelihood that APS teachers will ever be surveyed about the conduct and competence of their leadership.

It's just not the way leadership rolls, here in River City.
