Removal of Waco Police Department Detective Michael Alston

Removal of Waco Police Department Detective Michael Alston

The Issue

Waco Police Detective Michael Alston does not have the proper training to investigate sexual assault cases. His lack of basic knowledge regarding consent has resulted in actions such as victim blaming and not moving forward with cases. Because of this incompetence, we are asking for Michael Alston to step down or be removed from his position as a detective in the Waco Police Department. 

WACO PD MISSION STATEMENT: "Our mission is to provide police services to the Waco community with integrity, professionalism, accountability and respect, to preserve life and property, to enforce the law within the framework of the Constitution, to work in partnership with the community, and to be good stewards of the public’s trust and resources."

Michael Alston does NOT embody "professionalism" and it has been reflected through the way he treats sexual assault victims with disrespect. This is a man who is NOT QUALIFIED to serve the community.
