A former Pittsburg police lieutenant has filed a lawsuit against the department
PITTSBURG (KRON) -- A former Pittsburg police lieutenant has filed a lawsuit against the department and the city, claiming that he faced retaliation for being a whistleblower.
On Tuesday, KRON4 spoke with the officer's attorney.
Wade Derby is no longer with the Pittsburg Police Department. He is working in Sacramento now.
But Derby said he was kind of pushed out of Pittsburg for calling attention to the way the department reported some of the crime statistics. KRON4 spoke with attorney Dan Horowitz, who represents Derby in the suit.
Horowitz said Derby noticed several crimes, mostly against minorities and poor people, that the department was classifying as "suspicious circumstances," so that their crime stats would look better than they really were.
The suit alleges one was even a violent stabbing, and it was listed as a "suspicious circumstance," until the victim later died and the department allegedly reclassified it as a homicide.
Meanwhile, Horowitz said his client was given embarrassing assignments just for calling the department out and was eventually forced to resign, the suit says.
"So, what he had was a great reputation as a terrific street cop, and the community, and the people loved him, but within the department, he was a pariah because he was violating the code of silence," Horowitz said.
As of now, the police department isn't making on-camera statements because it is a very fresh lawsuit filed on Monday. But KRON4 has received a statement from Pittsburg Police Chief Brian Addington.
Addington said he and the city are aware of the lawsuit, and he adamantly denies the allegations.
Here is the full statement from Addington:
The City is aware of the lawsuit filed by former officer Wade Derby, and the City and I adamantly deny the allegations. As Mr. Derby's complaint states, he resigned after investigations into allegations of sexual harassment against him. Neither the City nor I in any way retaliated against Mr. Derby, and his Complaint contains numerous false allegations. The City and I look forward to defending the lawsuit and demonstrating the frivolous nature of the allegations.
Addington also said the department never retaliated against Derby and that Derby left because there were sexual harassment allegations against him.

WILLIAM MICHAEL McCANN [#66753], 59, of San Jose was suspended for one year, stayed, placed on one year of probation with a 60-day actual suspension and was ordered to take the MPRE within one year. The order took effect July 19, 2008.
The State Bar Court review department agreed with a hearing judge's findings that McCann forged documents, failed to keep clients informed about developments in their cases and made misrepresentations to a bar investigator, but it increased the level of discipline.
He was hired to represent a minor who had been in a traffic accident.

WILLIAM MICHAEL McCANN [#66753], 59, of San Jose was suspended for one year, stayed, placed on one year of probation with an actual 60-day suspension and was ordered to take the MPRE within one year. The order took effect July 19, 2008.
The State Bar appealed a hearing judge’s recommended discipline, which did not include an actual suspension, and asked for a three-month actual suspension. The review department took into consideration McCann’s 30 years of discipline-free practice and settled on a 60-day actual suspension.
The hearing judge found that he committed forgery, failed to keep clients reasonably informed of significant developments and made misrepresentations to a State Bar investigator.
In a personal injury case, he represented a minor whose medical expenses were paid by Blue Cross of California through an ERISA-qualified plan. Blue Cross hired The Rawlings Co. to obtain reimbursement for those benefits.
McCann did not respond to Rawlings’ notice of a lien and he believed that Blue Cross did not have a valid lien against any recovery. The lien amounted to $831.85.
When the case settled for $4,500, McCann endorsed the settlement check on behalf of Rawlings Co. for Blue Cross, knowing his clients were anxious to receive their money. He later received another lien notice but did not respond. When a Rawlings representative called McCann about the settlement check, he responded that he had “implied authority” to sign it. Although he attempted to pay part of the amount owed and then the full amount, his checks were returned.
He told a State Bar investigator that he had verbal authorization to endorse the check and said he thought the matter was resolved when he offered to fully reimburse Rawlings.
The review panel agreed with a hearing judge’s findings that McCann committed forgery, failed to keep his clients reasonably informed and made misrepresentations to a bar investigator, committing an act of moral turpitude. However, it disagreed with the judge’s belief that McCann acted in good faith because he believed the lien was invalid. That belief, the panel said, did not justify forgery.
“McCann consciously took the risk and forged Rawlings’ name in order to get the money to his impoverished clients quickly,” wrote Judge Madge Watai. His “good intentions,” she added, did not trump his dishonesty.
McCann has no prior record of discipline in 30 years of practice.
