From ITeam: Our investigation obtained and broadcast previously unreleased recordings of excessive force by corrections officers in the Hamilton County Justice Center. The I-Team revealed that half of the officers who used excessive force received only a counseling letter in their file. None of them were fired. We examined internal affairs investigations, disciplinary reports, medical records, use of force reports, jail surveillance video, audio recordings of witness interviews, court records and other documents. We interviewed victims and examined their cases in detail. We discovered an internal affairs investigation determined a victim of excessive force wasn’t injured, even though the victim’s medical exam in jail identified his injuries. WCPO provided hundreds of pages of documents and videos to Christine Cole, a national expert on law enforcement policies and practices, who shared her observations about discipline in the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office.
