Cincinnati, OH — Several high-ranking Cincinnati police officers are suing the city and Police Chief Teresa Theetge on claims the department’s leadership is discriminating against White lieutenants in making assignment decisions.
The lawsuit, filed on May 19 in federal court in Cincinnati, alleges the city and Theetge discriminated against Capt. Robert Wilson and lieutenants Patrick Caton, Gerald Hodges and Andrew Mitchell by favoring women and persons of color for preferred assignments.
