BREAKING: Philadelphia mayor says he has accepted resignation of Police Commissioner Richard Ross; cites new allegations of sexual harassment, and gender and racial discrimination, in dept., but 'those allegations do not accuse' Ross. - NBCPhiladelphia
The move comes as a surprise as Kenney has often praised Ross, who spent his whole career with the city police department.
"While those allegations do not accuse Commissioner Ross of harassment, I do ultimately believe his resignation is in the best interest of the Department," Kenney said. He also saw the department through one of its lowest moments in recent history: a scandal involving dozens of officers accused in an online report of posting racist and offensive social media posts.
Yet Kenney said in his statement that Ross failed to promptly roll out changes required by"a new sexual harassment prevention policy and a series of internal reforms designed to prevent workplace discrimination and harassment throughout the government" enacted last summer.
