Two Officers Placed on Leave, Davis PD Distances Themselves from UC Police

The Davis PD wants to clear up confusion about their role in what happened between the Occupy UC Davis demonstrators and campus police on Friday. “The City of Davis and the City of Davis Police Chief exercise no authority over the UCDPD,” said Lt. Paul Doroshov of the City’s PD. “While Davis PD officers were called to assist UCDPD officers, they arrived late in the operation, were in a support role only, and used not force on protestors, including pepper spray.”
