Officer Sherman Mah, an Asian-American officer with the department since 1995, alleged that he was repeatedly denied promotions despite his qualifications. He claimed that promotions were given to white officers who ranked lower than him on the eligibility list and that his complaints to supervisors and city officials were ignored. Mah filed a lawsuit against the city, alleging civil rights violations and retaliation. The city investigated the allegations and determined they were without merit, planning to vigorously defend against the claims.
