Three police officers from Tempe, Arizona, have been placed on leave following an incident during which they watched a man jump in a lake and drown last month.
“Tempe has asked the Department of Public Safety (DPS) and Scottsdale Police to examine the Tempe Police response to the drowning,” a June 3 news release by the Tempe city administration said. “The three Tempe police officers who responded to the call and witnessed the drowning have been placed on non-disciplinary paid administrative leave pending the investigations, as is customary in critical incidents.”
