Besides the official investigations of the incidents, which are being handled by the Scottsdale police department, Mesa is contracting with the national Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) to review use-of-force incidents of the past three years. The city's new Chief of Police is also hiring former Maricopa County Rick Romley to help review the two latest video-recorded incidents
Police also released the names of the five officers on leave from the May 23 incident. They are:
• Jhonte Jones
• Rudy Monarrez
• Ernesto Calderon
• Robert Gambee
• William Abbiatti
The latest crisis comes several months after a jury acquitted former Mesa officer Phillip "Mitch" Brailsford of a murder charge, following his shooting death of an unarmed suspect in 2016.
