A local attorney makes an exhaustive list of violations by the recently resigned Chief of Police, who left her gun in a public women's toilet

 SLO police chief concealed communications, violated policies in search for gun, attorney says

After Chief Deanna Cantrell lost her gun last year, she and the department undertook an extensive effort to keep the case quiet, a defense attorney says.

“Across more than 10 police reports and dozens of hours of electronic media, one trend is clear,” [Pete] Depew wrote. “Every coincidence, every mistake, every dropped call, every semantic ambiguity, every gender-neutral sentence construction, every jurisdictional irregularity, every malfunction, every phone call on a private cellphone, every lapse in judgment, every deviation from SLOPD policies, every sequence of events that strains believability — coincidentally helped keep Chief Cantrell’s identity as the loser of the firearm from becoming public knowledge.”
