Officer Berdoza was reported to have used a racial slur during a briefing, stating he had ‘jailed a lot of [n-word] today.’ This comment was made in the presence of Officer Ellis and other officers. Despite the offensive nature of the remark, Berdoza was only verbally counseled by Captain Wright, with no formal reprimand issued. This incident was part of the broader allegations in the 2017 lawsuit settled in 2021.
