OAKLAND — Oakland Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong has been fired amid a misconduct scandal that engulfed the department over the past month and extended its stay under federal oversight.
The officer, Sgt. Michael Chung, was involved in a hit-and-run with a parked vehicle and later fired his service weapon in a department elevator. In both cases, he attempted to cover his tracks. Armstrong, first appointed as the city’s top cop in 2021, served two decades in the department and won approval from Black community leaders in Oakland, who joined him this past month in a public campaign to keep his job.
“The chief’s role in the investigation was extremely limited, but for unclear reasons the report’s authors spend a lot of effort attacking his credibility even after concluding he committed no misconduct,” the attorney, Will Edelman, said in the statement.
