One of the six police officers charged after the 2015 death of Freddie Gray has been tapped to oversee the Baltimore Police Department’s Public Integrity Bureau, a unit that handles misconduct investigations.
Captain Alicia White’s move from the department’s Anti-Crime Section/Gun Violence Unit to the Public Integrity Bureau went into effect on Feb. 11, according to a department news release that announced several other promotions and command changes.
White is one of two commanders who will oversee complaints filed by the public against officers within the Baltimore Police Department, according to The Baltimore Banner , which first reported the news of her command change.
The former lieutenant was promoted to the rank of captain in August 2022, a spokesperson with the Baltimore Police Department told NPR.
“I am proud of each of these promotees and command members,” Commissioner Richard Worley said in a statement. “… I am looking forward to our continued efforts in reforming the Department, improving police-community relations and working toward full compliance with the Consent Decree,” he added.
