Battle Creek Police Whistleblower Says Fellow Police Deliberately Put Him in Harm\u2019s Way for Reporting Misconduct<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Autumn Smith & “Officer Whistleblower”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For years, allegations of corruption, retaliation, excessive force, and cover-ups have surrounded the Battle Creek Police Department.<\/a> Those claims have repeatedly been dismissed, minimized, denied, and concealed by officials and their defenders.<\/a> Much of my reporting over the years has come directly from this whistleblower, as well as from current and former officers both inside and outside the department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, this whistleblower <\/a>is releasing damning audio evidence that once again points to the systemic corruption alleged to exist within the Battle Creek Police Department and Battle Creek City Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This evidence should force accountability upon those within the police department, city government, and community who have participated in, enabled, defended, or helped cover up this conduct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the whistleblower, the punishment for exposing misconduct inside the department was not limited to isolation and retaliation \u2014 it included being deliberately placed into dangerous situations where fellow officers allegedly knew he could be seriously injured or killed.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This should help vindicate any naysayers in the police department, city hall and community who have been a part of the cover up and whom defend this type of corrupt behavior. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following account below details one of those incidents. The content and audio below was given to me by \u201cOfficer Whistleblower\u201d of the Battle Creek Police Department which was captured on a makeshift recorder made by Officer Whistleblower with a BCPD CS Cannister seen in the pictures below.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On August 7, 2011, while assigned as the lone downtown officer at the notoriously dangerous Par 4 Lounge in Battle Creek,<\/strong><\/a> the whistleblower officer says supervisors and fellow officers knowingly abandoned him in an overcrowded, gang-heavy environment despite available manpower and clear safety risks. The officer believes it was intentional retaliation for breaking the \u201cBlue Wall of Silence\u201d after reporting misconduct within the department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The audio recordings referenced in this article allegedly capture officers attempting to justify why they refused to assist or protect one of their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
