Real Crimes
Excerpt: (Later became APD Police Chief.) “The APD Intelligence Unit, under the supervision of Sgt. Joseph
Polisar, was accused of illegally creating and maintaining secret dossiers on innocent political figures.
The only possible use for such dossiers would be to exert influence and pressure on those politicians. When the
existence of the dossiers became known, they were burned to prevent their inspection. Sgt. Polisar was
subsequently elevated to Chief of Police” 10/1/87: Former Chief Justice William Riordan, the City’s first
independent councilor, found that the APD Intelligence Unit, under the supervision of APD Sgt. Joseph Polisar,
had been secretly stockpiling information on local residents not suspected of wrong doing. (The Unit was
supposed to be gathering intelligence on motorcycle gangs, organized crime, terrorists and other criminal
activity.) …7/5/94: APD Joseph Polisar, (supervisor of the APD Intelligence Unit when police burned the
controversial Intelligence Files), was appointed Police Chief. Real Crimes:

Excerpt from Brown Watch: Arresting Officer has a History of Police Brutality Claims Against him (01/03/2005)
One of the arresting officers, Detective Rodney Porter is no stranger to police brutality or racial discrimination claims. On
August 24, 2004 a court awarded Jimmie Marshall, a 58 year old Black man $580,000 for police brutality claims he
brought against Porter and the City of Hobbs. Specifically, Porter took a blood sample from him without his permission
and without a warrant following a Dec. 26, 1996, traffic stop. Marshall claimed Porter only tried to stop him after
determining Marshall was black and then used a racial slur during the arrest -- a claim Porter denied. The jury awarded
Marshall $390,000 in compensatory and punitive damages for Porter's actions (the remainder was for the liability of
another officer's actions).[more]
