Incident Reports

2019 Raid of Anjanette Young

Response Timeline

Lisciandrello was investigated for failure to intervene in Young's mistreatment, failure to report the mistreatment, entering the residence without justification, searching the residence without justification, pointing his rifle at a suspect without justification, and making false statements during the investigation.[1]

Lisciandrello denied going to court with Officer Alain Aporongao to secure the warrant. Investigators found an email from Sergeant Alex Wolinski that told Lisciandrello to go with Aporongao early in the morning, and timesheets showed that he started work early that day.[1]

All of the internal charges against Lisciandrello were "exonerated" or "not sustained", though he was not found to be a credible witness.[1]

2019 Death of Sharell Brown

Response Timeline

An investigation by the Civilian Office of Police Accountability (COPA) was unable to determine if Lisciandrello's actions were justified and recommended that he be suspended for a minimum of 180 days or terminated.[3]

The city's lawyers recommended a $1 million settlement to Brown's mother, but the finance committee has not put the settlement on their agenda.[5]
