The Phoenix Police Department announced that two officers have been put on leave while a criminal investigation is conducted into allegations against them.
The department became aware of the accusations last week. Preliminary information indicates the officers used force during a traffic stop on Aug. 5 at around 11:30 p.m. in south Phoenix and failed to report it or activate their body cams, authorities said in a statement on social media.
Despite the limited information, officials emphasized that both officers were immediately put on administrative leave pending further investigation.
The department’s Special Investigations Detail is conducting the criminal probe. Once it is complete, an administrative investigation will be done by the Professional Standards Bureau.
The department said that additional information will be released as the investigation progresses.
Neither of the officers were identified.

When we went ''live,'' the cameras that recorded us were on when we started and until we ended our shifts.
We had NO control over them.

LOPSIDED VALUES AND LOPSIDED OPINIONS
NOTHING to see here, Boys and Girls...
just another incident Bowlingballhead will ignore.
With Flock cameras, he had NO choice--to avoid it would have been outwardly apparent he views everything from a lopsided angle.
Yesterday's show, the topic of the rich giving money in a liberal, philanthropic manner kept coming up...
repeated over and over as he defended the good ol' boys in his sphere.
Blundt completely understands that the rich give to various charities and organizations because they never really try to hide the fact...propped up and promoted by the media and various talk shows.
As usual, Trump is a bad example and never wise to use.

Out of their abundance they give...or don't.
