Specifically, Chief Harris. They claimed that the Phoenix PD inflated the 2008 kidnapping numbers to secure more federal funds, and flamed the simmering coals that is the immigration issue. Seems the investigation determined that the Police actually under-reported the kidnapping numbers. By a lot, it seems.
Clearly, there's a big problem with illegal immigration along all the border states. When these states attempt to do something about it, due to the unwillingness/inability/ineptitude at the Federal level, the states face Federal subpoenas, protests from imported students, and efforts from the pro-illegal immigration groups almost paralyze state legislatures and paint the elected official as racist, bigots, etc, for doing the job the people elected them to do. /runonsentence

The board, made up of a retired state supreme court justice, superior court judge and others found that Phoenix, in fact, under-reported the kidnapping statistics in 2008, showing 358 when the actual number should have been 668. That number, Harris said, was a surprise to him.
Harris retired under fire after he was re-assigned, and asked if that should have happened in light of the new finding., Phoenix city manager David Cavazos said he wouldn't say much on the subject.
"Chief Harris had a long, distinguished career, and he's retired," he said.
The review board blamed most of Phoenix's reporting problems on outdated data systems and poor communication in the department. Cavazos said the city can learn from all of this.
