12 Quotes by Marlon Defillo

We're still functioning and we're a very effective department.

We have approximately 1,450 commissioned persons who are working under some very adverse conditions. It's a tribute to those officers who are working very hard to do the right thing.

I don't think we're ever going to do that. You're going to have people who are defiant not to leave. I don't think that's good PR.

I would not say we're at 100 percent. We're still in the process of rebuilding our infrastructure. But in terms of the department's responsiveness to the community, we are functional.

Out of 1,750 officers, we're looking into the possibility that maybe 12 officers were involved in misconduct.

Our police officers are working under some very trying times. So it's a difficult time, but it doesn't excuse what our jobs are supposed to be.

We want the public simply to know that they can have confidence in filing a complaint if there is concern of wrong doing by a police officer or allegation of corruption. That every complaint that comes into this office will be handled thoroughly, fairly, and objectively. And that I want citizens to leave this office knowing that their complaint is honored and we will get to the bottom of what occurred.

We're multitasking right now. Rescue, recovery, stabilization of looting, we're trying to feed the hungry.

It's a troubling tape, no doubt about it.
