Philly to slash police oversight, anti-violence initiatives while increasing PPD budget

The 46-year-old officer who fired his weapon has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of this ongoing investigation.

Russell Williams, 67, served 41 years in prison. It's the latest review of whether police offered to arrange sexual liaisons for witnesses in exchange for false testimony.

The officers join Philly’s police department at a time when the Parker administration is rolling out safer streets initiatives.
