A scathing survey, obtained exclusively by 7 Action News, is painting an ugly picture of life inside the Dearborn Police Department.
The survey was mailed out to 180 officers, lieutenants and sergeants who work for Dearborn police. Of the 180, 124 responded to the survey.
109 members of the department said morale was under a three rating. Under what you would change, many directed their anger at the chief, calling for his job and other top brass.
The mayor is defending the chief, who has been at the head of the department since 2007. He said citizen complaints, use of force and officer involved accidents have dropped dramatically.
But under "what is driving morale?"-- some officers answered mismanagement of resources, disconnect between officers and management, lack of training and no emphasis of police work.
