And it's not a record to be proud of. Of the 34 supervisors in the Elkhart, Indiana, Police Department, 28 have been disciplined; the reasons range from carelessness to incompetence to serious, even criminal, misconduct.. Fifteen, including the chief, have been suspended. Seven have been involved in fatal shootings. Three have been convicted of criminal charges.
Elkhart is not New York City. From 2013 to 2017, Elkhart police shot and killed six people while New York City police killed 43. However, Elkhart’s population is 53,000 — New York City’s, 8.6 million. The NYPD had about seven times more police shootings — in a city with more than 160 times the people.
