John F. Kennedy – Rochester Hills

Written by CBKN76

Former Detroit Police Lieutenant John F. Kennedy, a resident of Rochester Hills, was sentenced to two and a half years in prison in April 2023 for accepting nearly $15,000 in bribes. Kennedy commanded the Detroit Police Department’s Integrity Unit and conspired with another officer to accept bribes in exchange for directing illegal tow referrals to a specific company. Additionally, they provided confidential information about ongoing investigations to the towing company. Kennedy’s actions violated Detroit’s rules and ordinances regarding towing referrals.

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
