Report says police reform maki
The Oakland Police Department has made significant progress on mandated reforms, but needs to train its officers more about the use of violence, a panel of monitors reported this week.
"The Oakland Police Department has accomplished an extraordinary amount over the past several years,'' it said, "but has not yet fully implemented the (terms of the settlement) as required to ensure consistently effective and respectful policing."

State audit alleges misconduct
From mismanaged contraband to mismanaged funds, a small Tennessee police department is under the microscope after an audit from the state of Tennessee.
The audit of three years of records at the Gallaway Police Department reveals inconsistent record keeping, centering around former police chief Billy Phillips.
Phillips was recently indicted for allegedly pocketing $5,500 for the sale of a high-powered engine donated to the police department.
Though Phillips claims he is innocent, the state audit claims he also sold a donated radar gun to the city of Gallaway for $800. The audit also claims the department failed to properly inventory and dispose of seized drugs, lost track of weapons, allowed officers to use seized weapons without authorization, and did not share proceeds from police seizures with the state.
Phillips had a list of charges, arrests, and citations before he became police chief, from a state warrant for kidnapping to obtaining merchandise under false pretences. All those charges were expunged. The state de-certified Phillips in February, and a grand jury in Fayette County indicted him in March. His case is now in criminal court.
Gallaway's new police chief, Jason Collins, told Action News 5 on Tuesday that the city has now implemented community policing. Collins said he and other city officials believe some of the audit's findings are questionable.
