Inside sources claim that an order given by an officer in the upper ranks has been overridden by a lower-ranked colleague who allegedly has the support of the boss.
The sources say the dissension stems from the senior officer’s order that all tints be removed from marked police vehicles.
The reason, they say, is that civilians have complained that they are unable to attract the attention of officers behind the heavily tinted glass.
Accordingly, the senior policeman instructed the persons responsible for these vehicles to remove the obscuring tints.
Further reports say that the officers who allegedly “use the vehicles to conduct their personal business” put up some resistance, and they complained to another officer who is senior to them – but subordinate to the one who had given the directive.
It is alleged that this lower-ranked officer instructed the drivers to disregard the directions to remove the tint, and the matter eventually was escalated to the attention of the commissioner.
To date, the sources say, there has been no compliance.
Accordingly, police officers continue to drive past incidents that require intervention “and make excuses that they did not see” the civilians in need of service and assistance.
While the names of the officers were disclosed to REAL News, our legal counsel deemed iT prudent to withhold their identities and those of our sources in order to protect them from possible victimization.

Listen the tint on my vehicle helps especially during the heat wave and I transport 5 kids from school everyday. The tint does not obstruct my vision so if that was the excuse used, it’s a lie.
