Detroit Police Officer Kevin Chambers:
Mistress shot in the leg as Officer Chambers and his wife reportedly struggled over a gun on August 20, 2014.
Officer Kevin Chambers - Mistress shot - Detroit PD


In the early morning hours of August 20th, Officer Kevin Chambers' mistress was shot in the leg as Officer Chambers and his wife reportedly struggled over a gun.

"... until they [Detroit PD]  talk to the shooting victim, they don't have probable cause to think it was anything other than an accident...Police say they will also be asking the shooting victim if she wants to pursue criminal charges." ???

Let's end the Detroit PD's silence that protected Officer Kevin Chambers and his job in 2006, for "off duty incident where he fired shots" AND  AGAIN in 2008 when Chambers was arrested for:  "Fleeing and Eluding, Possession of a Dangerous Weapon, Operating While Impaired and Reckless Driving."

Officer Kevin Chambers' story is also being followed on Behind the Blue Wall and Police - Officer Involved Domestic Violence Network:

[MI] Officer Chambers' alleged "mistress" shot by Mrs. Chambers. (Police wonder if it was accidental?)

 Jodi was found murdered in November 2007. Since her murder, reserve officer McCann has been a suspect. In April 2014, McCann was arrested on perjury charges related to testimony he gave under oath in 2012.

RE: Taylor PD Officer Michael Calabrese's May 30th conviction for misuse of LEIN:
On June 10th, Calabrese was fired from the department due to his criminal convictions.
On June 20th, Calabrese was sentenced to 6 - 12 months probation for his misuse of the LEIN criminal convictions.


 During a two-year period of time, Officer Calabrese victimized / stalked eight women via misuse of the LEIN. One of the victims was only eighteen years old, and when her parents attempted to intervene, Calabrese reportedly told his victim there was nothing they could do as she was of legal age...

Detroit PD Officer Hamilton Barton murdered by her husband - Detroit PD's version:
http://michiganoidv.blogspot.com/2014/06/officer-anna-hamilton-barton-murdered_12.html

 On the Detroit PD FaceBook page, they claim that Officer Anna Hamilton-Barton "was found dead in her home..." - WITH NO EXPLANATION OF HOW SHE DIED. They do not mention that she was murdered by her husband.  Let's not forget that immediately following Officer Hamilton's murder, the Detroit PD was referring to her death as a "DOMESTIC INCIDENT".
Why won't the Detroit PD say the words: "Officer involved domestic violence murder"? How can the Detroit PD address the problem of OIDV among their ranks if they continue to ignore that it exists? 

 
Check it out for yourself at the Detroit PD FaceBook page:













April 19, 2014 - Former Constantine Police Reserve Officer Raymond McCann arrested in connection to 2007 murder of Jodi Parrack.
Jodi Parrack Murder - Former Reserve Officer Raymond McCann arrested 

In April 2014, the main suspect in Jodi's murder - former Constantine Reserve Officer Raymond McCann - was arrested on felony perjury charges in connection with 11-year-old Jodi Parrack's murder. McCann faces up to life in prison if he is convicted of the charges 

The Constantine PD and MSP continue the investigation into finding Jodi's killer[s].












2007 unsolved murder of Jodi Parrack - Constantine Police Reserve Officer Raymond McCann suspect.
Jodi Parrack Murder Investigation - Reserve Officer Raymond McCann suspect

 On November 08, 2007, 11-year-old Jodi Parrack was murdered. Her mother - Valerie Jo - found Jodi's body in the Constantine Township Cemetery after Jodi failed to come home from a friend's home earlier that evening. It was family friend and Constantine PD Reserve Officer Raymond McCann who had suggested that the cemetery be searched for Jodi.
Jodi Parrack's murder has remained unsolved for over six years. From the beginning of the investigation, Reserve Officer Raymond McCann was considered as a suspect because of his insisting that the cemetery be search for Jodi, and due to the inconsistencies in his stories regarding his whereabouts between the time of Jodi's disappearance and the discovery of her body.
In 2009, retired Michigan State Police Detective Jim Bedell came out of retirement and became Chief of the Constantine PD. Chief Bedell's main motive was to solve Jodi's murder.

Valerie Jo Carver has never lost faith that the police would eventually find her daughter Jodi's killer[s].












Funeral services for Detroit Police Officer Anna Hamilton-Barton:
Funeral services for Detroit Police Officer Anna Hamilton will be Thursday, June 19th,  at 11 a.m at the Greater Emmanuel Institutional Church of God in Christ, 19190 Schaefer. Officer Anna Hamilton-Barton will be interred at Grand Lawn Cemetery, 23501 Grand River, in Detroit.
Officer Anna Hamilton-Barton was murdered by her husband- Damon Barton - on June 12th.

How easily the Detroit PD wants to push Officer Barton, Officer Williams, and other OIDV murder victims under the carpet instead of protecting them...Let's hold the Detroit PD accountable

[IN] Dustin McCowan - son of Crown Point Indiana police officer Joseph Elliott McCowan
On April 23, 2014 the Indiana Appellate Court upheld Dustin McCowan's  2013 conviction for the murder of Amanda Bach.

 Meanwhile, Officer Joseph Elliott  McCowan, who is believed to have assisted Dustin in hiding / destroying evidence in Amanda's murder case, has recently filed for bankruptcy. In 2013, Amanda's parents filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Officer McCowan.

[MI] Corrections Officer Kenneth M. Norton - Murder of Tabatha Horn [07/05/1993]
http://michiganoidv.blogspot.com/1993/07/corrections-officer-kenneth-norton.html

An old case from 1993 - But I am posting this because Norton was paroled in 2012. When you read the post on MIOIDV, you will note that Tabatha's body was found NUDE - and there was a history of child molestation in the Norton family. So this is also a creepy crawler alert, eh.










Officer Johnny Ray Bridges - Detroit PD
http://michiganoidv.blogspot.com/2014/03/officer-johnny-ray-bridges-detroit-pd.html

On March 03, 2014, Officer Johnny Ray Bridges assaulted his girlfriend and fired his gun during the altercation.


The Detroit PD was well aware of Officer Bridges violent tendencies. On February 25, 2006 Officer Bridges beat Olden Medley unconscious. Bridges was not even reprimanded by the department, although the City of Detroit later paid a settlement to Medley for the assault.

A study completed by the National Network to End Domestic Violence - NNEDV - that does not include OIDV...How the hell can you do research on DV homicides involving firearms, and not include the most deadliest form of DV associated with shooting deaths: OIDV?
