The San Jose Police Officers' Association has blocked significant portions of its website from public access after its executive director was charged in connection with an international drug smuggling scheme.
The association, which is the union that represents about 1,100 San Jose Police Department officers, previously had its website largely open to the public, including pages for its board of directors and its office staff. Now, those pages are behind a password-protected wall.
"Right away the response has been less transparency, and basically pulling the shades down. 'We're not going to even let you know who we are in these positions,'" Cordell said. "They should be doing just the opposite and making these folks available so we know who they are." He said the union is trying to avoid any of its members being doxxed, a term that refers to someone's private information such as their home address being published online, sometimes as an intimidation tactic or threat.
