ATLANTA - An internal review has determined that an off-duty Atlanta police officer followed departmental rules in a scuffle with several women at a Buckhead IHOP, all of it captured on video by customers in the restaurant early on April 23.
The APD police academy reviewed the videos posted on the Internet site YouTube as well as witness statements and the reports by the officers on the scene, Channel 2 Action News reported. The 10-day review was for the purpose of determining if any changes need to be made in Atlanta’s police training program.
It is separate from an ongoing investigation by the Office of Professional Standards, also known as internal affairs, APD spokesman Sgt. Curtis Davenport said Tuesday.
Davenport said no report had been released but one is expected. He did not know the timing of its release, however.
