Richmond brought its suspended police chief, Bisa French, back to work last week even though a hired investigator concluded she committed misconduct during a dispute with a family member by making “a threat of harm,” among other infractions.
According to a letter written by acting Chief Louie Tirona, who ran the department during French’s leave, the city took “appropriate action” in light of the misconduct finding. But the letter doesn’t specify what action was taken, and Richmond city officials did not return phone calls seeking additional information.
