ERIE \u2014 The city is aware of the video circulating on social media depicting an interaction between Erie Police officers and an individual following a pursuit on Sunday.<\/p>\n
On Monday morning the city issued this statement:<\/p>\n
\u201cWe understand why members of our community have questions and concerns after viewing the footage. Any use of force by a police officer is a serious matter and deserves careful review.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Erie Police Department has initiated an investigation, which includes collecting and examining all available evidence, including body-worn camera footage, witness statements, and other relevant information. A short video clip shared online may not capture the full context of an incident, but it is an important piece of information that will be reviewed alongside all other evidence.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur administration expects every City employee to uphold the highest standards of professionalism, accountability, and respect for the dignity of every person. If that review determines that policies were violated, appropriate action will be taken.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe recognize the importance of this review for everyone involved and for our broader community. We remain committed to a thorough, fair, and transparent process and will provide updates as appropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n
