I thought this Union Tribune article by Jeff Brady was interesting. Apparently all DAs now have a secret list of police officers whom they no longer trust -- called the Brady List.
DA keeps secret list of bad cops | UTSanDiego.com:
I can certainly understand why the DA would need such a list, and agree that it probably should be kept "secret."
I hope that the regional defense attorneys also maintain a similar list of officers whom they believe may have lied under oath. The DA needs to trust the testimony of officers.
I also hope that the Chief of Police is aware of all of the names on the list. Being on that list probably shouldn't be the "kiss of death" for promotions or other advancement. However, it should be considered when the individuals come up for promotions --particularly to the higher ranks.
