Tension over the David Brame scandal is deepening a rift between Tacoma police leaders and City Manager Jim Walton.
Fallout from the David Brame scandal continues to add to the City of Tacoma's legal headaches.
The woman who says David Brame raped her in 1988 - 13 years before he became Tacoma's police chief - has asked the city to pay her $2 million because officials didn't pass along her allegation to an outside agency.
Newly discovered public records related to Tacoma Police Chief David Brame emerged Thursday, providing partial answers to questions that have lingered since he fatally shot his wife, Crystal, and killed himself April 26, 2003.
There is no good explanation for the "bungling" that allowed two files containing psychological evaluations of the late Tacoma Police Chief David Brame to languish in the back of a filing cabinet at City Hall, a city spokesman said Thursday.
A new labor dispute between Tacoma police commanders and City Manager Jim Walton surfaced Wednesday, further complicating a protracted investigation of the David Brame scandal.
INTERIM TACOMA POLICe Chief Don Ramsdell suspended an officer for one day for sending an e-mail to a Tacoma Internet publisher in the days after then-Chief David Brame fatally shot his wife and himself.
Tacoma City Council members unanimously approved two legal contracts totaling $775,000 Tuesday night for the defense of fired City Manager Ray Corpuz and retired assistant police chief Catherine Woodard in the Crystal Brame wrongful death lawsuit against the city.
These days, Tom Strickland is the Tacoma police captain known for spending hundreds of hours researching and writing the department's new policy on officer-involved domestic violence.
"The police union has not changed its attitude or acknowledged the problem and have interfered with the investigation. The city has tried to make changes, but they are a Band-Aid on a very deep-rooted issue, similar to putting up signs in schools that read, 'No Gun Zone' and telling parents that their kids are safer for it."
